Ruben Amorim’s arrival at Manchester United is going to mark a decisive change in their tactical setup, sporting strategy, and recruitment. Known for his modern, high-intensity style of play and ability to develop young talents, Amorim’s tenure promises to reinvigorate a squad in need of fresh ideas and structure.
Marking a big development, it has come into the limelight that the English club has decided to sell one of their star wingers who was raised in their youth academy.
While this decision might raise eyebrows among fans, it gives a clear picture of Amorim’s vision of reshaping the squad with players who fit his specific tactical demands and are expected to implement significant changes as United aims to regain its competitive edge.
United wants to sell Marcus Rashford
As reported by the Spanish news outlet Fichajes, United are planning to sell Marcus Rashford. The Englishman is one of the most highly cherished and loved players of their squad and has risen through the ranks from their youth academy.
Currently earning around £300,000 gross per week, Rashford has been pretty decent despite his club’s dismal run this season so far. The English International has scored seven goals in 21 appearances across all the competition.
Rashford’s probable departure could rejuvenate the attacking department which is possibly what the Red Devils seek now United their new head coach. The 27-year-old’s form has been up and down, and while the talent is there, he has often been criticized for his influence at decisive moments. On the contrary, Amorim’s system requires endless pressing, tactical discipline, and adaptability which Rashford has not always shown.
This approach seems to be further signalled by United’s interest in the Egyptian winger, Omar Marmoush who is making waves with his stunning performance for the German club Eintracht Frankfurt. The Egyptian’s versatility, work rate, and directness may fit in even better with Amorim’s style.
While uncertainty looms on Rashford’s future at Old Trafford it would be exciting to see which club goes for him. Considering the present, United tie their laces up for their forthcoming Premier League clash against Arsenal on December 5.
