Ruben Amorim’s time at Manchester United has been marked by some tension with Marcus Rashford, at least according to his own words. Amorim appears to feel that he couldn’t get Rashford to fully embrace his tactical vision, which ultimately led to Rashford’s departure on loan to Aston Villa.
It’s interesting to note that Rashford’s departure is framed as more of a clash of philosophies between the player and the coach rather than a matter of ability. Amorim acknowledges that some players simply click with certain coaches, and Rashford might perform better under Unai Emery’s management at Villa. Given that Rashford has had such success in previous seasons with United, it will be intriguing to see how he adapts to this new chapter in his career.
The fact that Villa has the option to make the deal permanent for £40 million suggests they have a level of confidence in Rashford’s ability to contribute. It will also be interesting to see whether Rashford can find his rhythm under Emery, who has a different coaching approach. What do you think about the move? Could this be a fresh start for Rashford?
