Rashford Sends Message to Ruben Amorim After Pre-Season Exile and Shirt Swap
Marcus Rashford Responds to Manchester United’s Pre-Season Exclusion
Marcus Rashford appears to have made a public statement after being omitted from Manchester United’s pre-season training by manager Ruben Amorim, who also stripped him of his No. 10 shirt. Rashford, along with several other players, was instructed to stay away from training at Carrington as the squad began pre-season preparations.
The 27-year-old forward is currently seeking a transfer from Old Trafford following disagreements with Amorim last season, which led to him losing his shirt number after Matheus Cunha’s transfer from Wolves. Despite being sidelined, Rashford seems committed to demonstrating his dedication to football. Reports indicate he is prepared to give his best in training regardless of ongoing transfer rumors.
This commitment was highlighted by his recent social media activity, where he shared a photo of himself working out in the gym as his new profile picture on X (formerly Twitter). Rashford responded positively to supportive comments from followers, including one who encouraged him to stay focused and confident.
Furthermore, he recently updated his bio on X to simply state “England International Footballer” along with his agent’s contact information, implying a focus on his professional identity amidst transfer speculation. Rumors have linked him to clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, though discussions with Manchester United regarding these moves have yet to materialize. Rashford’s current contract runs until 2028, with a weekly salary of £315,000, which could complicate any potential transfer.
Previously, Rashford impressed at Aston Villa during a six-month loan, scoring four goals and providing six assists in 17 appearances. Villa declined to trigger a £40 million buy option this summer, partly due to Rashford’s high wage demands. He continues to work with personal trainers during a holiday near Marbella to maintain his fitness while waiting for further developments in his career.
He remains focused on his future, with ongoing speculation about potential moves across Europe’s top clubs. Regardless of the outcome, Rashford appears dedicated to proving his professionalism on and off the pitch.
