Ruben Amorim has no regrets over Rashford snub after Manchester United's Carabao Cup exit
India TodayManchester United manager Ruben Amorim defended his decision to omit Marcus Rashford from the squad for their Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur, a match that ended in a dramatic 4-3 defeat on December 20. Pre-match discussions were dominated by Rashford’s absence in United's loss to Tottenham on Friday, following recent comments where the 27-year-old forward expressed his desire for a “new challenge.” Amorim insisted the decision was not rooted in a strained relationship with the player but was based purely on training performance and tactical considerations. This comes despite United’s morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League just days earlier, where Rashford was also absent from the squad. This decision has further intensified rumours about potential exits, with Amorim reiterating that Rashford is "still a Manchester United player."
