Man United's new boss Ruben Amorim isn't holding back! He'd prefer his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach to Marcus Rashford. Curious? Read on!

Manchester United's new boss Ruben Amorim has certainly made waves since taking the helm at Old Trafford, and his latest comments about star forward Marcus Rashford have sent shockwaves through the football community. In a candid statement, Amorim expressed his dissatisfaction with Rashford’s effort levels in training, suggesting that he would prefer to play his goalkeeping coach, Jorge Vital—a sprightly 63 years young—over a player who doesn't give his all every day. This bold move from Amorim illustrates his no-nonsense approach as he seeks to overhaul the squad and restore United to former glories.

It’s a particularly sore subject for Rashford, who has long been a fan favorite and a crucial player for the Red Devils. However, according to Amorim, Rashford seems to have hit the infamous "point of no return," with whispers of a potential exit from Manchester United growing louder by the day. With Turkish giants hunting for his signature, Rashford's future remains as uncertain as the weather in Dublin—one minute sunny, the next it’s a torrential downpour!

Fans may remember that under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Rashford flourished, but Amorim’s strict demands might not sit well with the England international. Observers are left to ponder: has Rashford’s time at United ticked down to its last seconds? As Amorim sets the tone with an iron fist, his remarks bring to light deeper issues within a club desperate for direction and discipline.

As the footballing world watches closely, tensions rise between squad expectations and player performance. Will Marcus Rashford's magic return in time to convince Amorim to change his mind? Or will we soon see him plying his trade under the Turkish sun? With Amorim asserting that he values commitment over celebrity, time will tell how this story unfolds on the pitch. Meanwhile, Jorge Vital might just become the oldest debutant goalkeeper in Premier League history if this saga continues!

Interestingly, Jorge Vital is no stranger to the game; his +40 years of coaching experience prove that age sometimes brings wisdom. And as for Marcus Rashford, he remains one of the most philanthropic players in football, having created a hunger relief initiative that has helped feed millions during the pandemic. Could this be a pivotal moment for Rashford—combining ceiling-shattering talent with renewed motivation?
