The tension at Manchester United continues to rise as Marcus Rashford finds himself excluded from the squad for a fourth consecutive game. United, under the management of Ruben Amorim, are set to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux amidst ongoing speculations about Rashford’s future.
Rashford’s Ongoing Exile
Rashford last appeared in United’s matchday squad on December 12 during the UEFA Europa League clash against Viktoria Plzen. Since then, his absence has sparked numerous debates, especially after his candid interview where he hinted at being ready for a new challenge after dedicating his entire professional career to Manchester United.
Despite the rumors, Amorim has remained firm in stating that Rashford’s omission is performance-based rather than influenced by his desire to leave the club. “Standards must be upheld,” Amorim commented, addressing concerns about Rashford’s form and contribution to the team.
