Rashford blames one Man Utd chief for ‘fall out’ with Amorim ‘ordered’ to axe ‘picked on’ star. he said, “Me wanting to leave isn’t Amorim’s fault—I respect him. But United is a mess, and fans deserve the truth. Only Ronaldo dared to speak up, and now I see why. My passion for the club is gone, training was a disaster, and even one of United’s own told me to leave. Trust me, I won’t be the last—watch and see.
Marcus Rashford reportedly does not see Ruben Amorim as the reason for his current struggles at Manchester United. Instead, he believes that a club executive has been behind efforts to move him out.
There were initial hopes that Amorim’s arrival would offer Rashford a fresh start, but instead, his situation at Old Trafford seems to have worsened. Since his standout 2022/23 campaign, where he netted 30 goals across all competitions, the forward has faced significant challenges with form and consistency. His performances have drawn heavy criticism, and concerns about his attitude have added to his troubles. While United have shown interest in offloading him, his substantial wages have been a major stumbling block. Despite this, recent reports suggest that he is close to securing a loan move to Aston Villa.
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, negotiations between the clubs have progressed, though some details remain unresolved. Villa are working to finalize financial terms, address United’s salary expectations, and secure Rashford’s approval. The opportunity to play in the Champions League has reportedly influenced his decision, and Unai Emery is said to be keen on the move. The deal is expected to include an option to buy, with Villa covering a large portion of his wages and offering performance-based incentives.
Meanwhile, The Sun claims that Rashford and Amorim clashed shortly after the manager’s arrival. The dispute reportedly stemmed from accusations that Rashford had broken club rules by partying before a match against Everton on December 1. When confronted, Rashford allegedly denied any wrongdoing and demanded proof, reportedly asking Amorim, “Are you calling me a liar?” Their relationship never recovered, making a resolution unlikely.
Despite this, Rashford reportedly believes that his impending departure is being driven by United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe rather than Amorim. Sources suggest that Rashford feels unfairly singled out, especially since multiple players struggled to adapt to Amorim’s system, yet he was the only one receiving harsh public criticism.
Although Rashford is coming to terms with the likelihood of leaving United, he is said to be surprised by the lack of strong interest from major European clubs. The financial complexities surrounding his wages and potential transfer fee have deterred several potential suitors. Sources claim Rashford is shocked by how quickly his relationship with Amorim deteriorated and is struggling to accept the lack of top-tier clubs pursuing him.
