There is nothing to defend, Rashford must put to the market to reduce the salary budget because he is a one player who have huge salary on old Trafford. Amorim's steps are correct, and must be supported by management for the refreshment of the squad. there are many substitutions for him, or if Amorim really want to recruit another player to replace Rashford, Gyokeres is one attacker who suitable for his scheme. He's not good also in the hands of a new coach of Sporting, he is no longer sharp when not trained by amorim, so here's a chance to calling him to old Trafford on January windows transfer.
Rashford as not be doing well since before Erik Ten Hag leave the club is performance as be weak he didn't help the club and making the fans unhappy with him, since they have get new coach to the club. i think he can know the best decision to take against him or they should take him to loan and bring new player to the club that is more better then him in the club. But am just thinking that he will be very hard for Manchester United to sell Rashford because they know what he can do he can probably come back to is best.
Every one knows how Rashford achieved trophys for Manchester United because he is a key player for Manchester United and performing great and making him first eleven of the team and Erik believe in him and I am sure Rashford will come back to is fit and perform well and make the fans proud of him very soon, because I am hearing many fans and pleading that they should sell Rashford because they are not seeing is improvement in the club anymore. Let see what decision Amorim will took against him after the window is open.
