Cristiano Ronaldo BREAKS SILENCE after revealing what Marcus Rashford has been doing which was the main reason he left the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo, during his second tenure at Manchester United, identified three players he admired for their professionalism, noticeably excluding Marcus Rashford from his list. Rashford, who recently faced criticism regarding his work ethic, addressed these concerns after being left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad for a Premier League clash against Manchester City. In a conversation with journalist Henry Winter, Rashford remarked, “I do feel misunderstood, but I’m fine with it. I’m a very simple person. I love football. That’s been my life from the beginning.” Amorim later clarified that the omission of Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho was due to concerns over their training performances rather than disciplinary issues.
In his widely publicized interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo singled out Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro as exemplary professionals. He praised Dalot, his Portuguese compatriot, for his intelligence and work ethic, describing him as a young player with a bright future due to his professionalism. Ronaldo also commended Martinez for his dedication and Casemiro, a former Real Madrid teammate, for his leadership and commitment both on and off the pitch.
Ronaldo expressed broader concerns about the mindset of younger players in modern football, suggesting that many lack the determination and hunger that defined previous generations. He observed that while younger players listen to advice, it often seems to have little impact, stating, “They listen from one side, and it goes out the other.” This critique, Ronaldo noted, extends beyond Manchester United to football as a whole, attributing part of the issue to the distractions of new technologies.
Rashford’s omission from Ronaldo’s list, coupled with the recent scrutiny of his training performances, has intensified discussions about his professionalism. However, Rashford has shown flashes of his potential and remains focused on regaining his place in the squad. With important games on the horizon, he has a chance to prove his dedication and reshape perceptions about his commitment to the team.
