New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to leave star forward Marcus Rashford out of his upcoming starting lineup. Amorim, who officially takes the reins after the international break, hinted at significant changes to United’s setup, and Rashford’s omission is perhaps the boldest of them all.

Amorim shared insight into his decision: “Marcus is a fantastic player, but for the system and intensity I want to implement, certain adjustments are necessary. It’s crucial that every player is fully aligned with our new tactical vision and willing to adapt,” he stated.

The 39-year-old manager, known for his success with a 3-4-3 formation at Sporting Lisbon, plans to utilize a structured and intense system at United. Amorim’s tactical style emphasizes discipline and adaptability, qualities he expects to see reflected across the squad.

Speaking further, he added, “Dropping players of Marcus’s caliber is never easy, but sometimes these choices are essential for the greater balance and performance of the team. I have faith in this group’s potential, and every decision I make is about pushing Manchester United back to the top.”

This strategic choice could also mean that Amorim is eyeing younger talents and new recruits to fit his vision for United’s play. Fans eagerly await to see if this shake-up will bring the results that the club has been striving for.
