I believe this is the perfect time to reveal what is actually going on between me and Amorim in the locker room,so that Man united fans will not blame me if I join Arsenal by January”, Marcus Rashford finally reveals the hidden truth behind His exclusion from match day squad
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has sent a message following his shock axing from the matchday squad that beat Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad.
United came back from going down just before the break, to beat Pep Guardiola’s men and clinch all three points.
Josko Gvardiol gave the hosts the lead in the 36th minute, towering over Rasmus Hojlund and Diogo Dalot to head the ball past the reach of Andre Onana, who didn’t even react.
It seemed like United were headed for a third consecutive Premier League defeat but Amad Diallo had other ideas.
The Ivorian won a penalty after Matheus Nunes recklessly clattered into him inside the box. Bruno Fernandes converted from the spot-kick to restore parity.
Less than two minutes later, Amad reacted the quickest to get on the end of a ball from Lisandro Martinez and lobby it over Ederson.
Before the match, the shock news was the exclusion of Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the contingent that made its way to the Etihad.
The situation became even more surprising when Amorim indicated that their respective absences were not injury-related.
In his post-match press conference, Amorim revealed that he made the brutal decision to leave the pair out because they weren’t up to the standard in a number of areas.
Amorim listed choice of dressing, engagement with teammates and form as some of the reasons behind why he axed the two academy graduates.
Immediately after the full-time whistle, Rashford took to Instagram and reacted to his teammates’ superb victory over their cross-town rivals.
The England international wrote, “Yesssssssss! Love it lads.”
He accompanied the message with two red heart emojis.
United are back in action on Thursday when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup.
