Ruben Amorim has declared Marcus Rashford has created a ‘hard situation’ after the forward declared he is seeking a Manchester United exit.
The 27-year-old announced last week that he is ‘ready for a new challenge’ ahead of the January transfer window.
Amorim reacted to the news by stressing that he would still be happy to keep the versatile England international at Old Trafford.
But it appears that the two-time FA Cup winner could be shown the door in 2025 with talkSPORT understanding that United are open to offers.
Rashford, who has been at his boyhood club for 20 years, has also been left out of the last three matchday squads by United.
And following the Red Devils’ 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, Amorim has now questioned the decision-making from Rashford and his camp.
Speaking to Sky Sports about Rashford’s comments, Amorim said: “Of course it is a hard situation.
“But I understand that these kind of players have a lot of people around them, making some choices that is not the first idea from the player.
“So I understand and I can separate things.
“I am always here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do.
“They chose to do the interview because it is not just Marcus. I understand that.
“For me, as a coach I just focus on the performance and the way you train.
“The rest, it is better for me and the club to deal with that when the time comes.
“At the moment I focus on improving Marcus – we need a lot in this moment a talented guy like Marcus.
“I forget for now the interview, I just now see what I see on the pitch.”
