Premier League 2024-25: Rashford responds to Amorim challenge in rout of Everton
The HinduDays after new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said striker Marcus Rashford has to “want it” if he is to rediscover his best form, the 27-year-old scored twice in United’s 4-0 rout of Everton on Sunday. We have to keep pushing every day to meet his demands.” Joshua Zirkzee also bagged two goals as United’s rout of Everton lifted them three places to ninth in the Premier League table, but Amorim, whose team travel to second-placed Arsenal on Wednesday, said it was too soon for fans to think about a return to the Champions League. But let’s focus just on the next game and look at the performance.” Amorim had kind words for 22-year-old forward Amad Diallo, whose relentless pressure unsettled Everton all afternoon and created two of United’s goals. “It was really good again, he’s in a great moment, but that moment started with Ruud,” Amorim said, paying credit to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was interim manager for four games after Erik ten Hag’s sacking.
