Marcus Rashford breaks silence with social media message after being dropped by Ruben Amorim for Manchester derby as Fans were shocked with his disgusting response.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has addressed his unexpected exclusion from the squad during the team’s dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City.
City initially took the lead with a goal from Josko Gvardiol, but late strikes from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo sealed an unforgettable win for United at the Etihad Stadium. However, much of the pre-match buzz centered on Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho being omitted from the squad entirely, a surprising decision by manager Ruben Amorim.
Following the victory, Rashford took to Instagram to express his excitement, sharing a photo of himself watching the game from home. His caption read: “Yesssssssss! Love it lads.”
The decision to leave Rashford out came as a shock, given his recent form. The forward had scored three goals in his last four Premier League appearances under Amorim and was fully fit and available for selection. Despite this, Amorim chose to exclude him, explaining his reasoning in an interview with Sky Sports.
Amorim stated that his decisions are based on a thorough evaluation process, considering factors such as training performances, game contributions, and how players motivate their teammates. He emphasized that his choices are analytical rather than personal, adding that players are aware of his methods and the high standards he maintains.
He also highlighted the importance of paying attention to every detail, noting that everything from how players train to how they prepare for matches influences his selections. Amorim revealed that he had communicated his decision to Rashford and Garnacho before the match and observed that both handled it professionally, even training well on matchday.
In their absence, Mason Mount and Amad Diallo started on the wings. While Mount’s involvement was cut short by injury, Diallo delivered a sensational performance. The youngster earned the penalty converted by Fernandes to level the score and later secured the victory with a brilliant winning goal, cementing his role as the standout player of the match.
Diallo’s display will likely intensify competition for places in the squad, adding pressure on Rashford to rise to Amorim’s exacting expectations as he works to regain his spot in the starting lineup.
