If it’s true that Amorim wants intensity from his players he should do what Arteta did with Aubameyang at Arsenal and send a message to the dressing room.
It's not just Aubameyang he will need to get rid of though
I would be surprised if he's here come next season. He's so anti Amorim player. Time to move on and for him to kick on in a second string club or maybe he can do a Sterling and try for top6..
No, worst case is it doesn't work out, but Amorim keeps playing him there in the hope that he will "play himself into form".
I'm sure there are a lot of decent PL clubs who would buy Marcus for a reasonable price, and would fancy their chances of getting a tune from him. But no one is going to match the wages he's on here, and I doubt he'll voluntarily take a wage cut.
People keep mentioning PSG but I think that ship has sailed. They're stupid but they're not THAT stupid, they can see his form and stats have fallen off a cliff for 18 months.
The Saudis would probably love to have a high profile player like Marcus in their league regardless of form, and would probably match or better what he's on here, but the lad mightn't want to move to Saudi Arabia!
Of course he'll get takers if he comes onto the market. But there'll be huge reservations too. Signing someone with a reputation of phoning it in, disciplinary issues and someone you generally get the impression is a bit of a mardy bum around the place is a huge risk that I'm not sure any team with a genuine chance of challenging at the top is going to risk.
Beneath that? I could see the likes of Everton or Leicester taking a chance.

Doubt that will be the case under the new setup. Every indication is that they will be very keen on monitoring performances over time and sell earlier rather than later. If this is another nightmare season then i have little doubt that he’ll be pushed out the door
Who would have seen Osimhen in Turkey, lad looked like he had a pick of clubs to go to until he didn't and had to choose Turkey. If he doesn't work hard and fails we should drop him, take his number away next summer and throw him out of the first team. You will be surprised what cuts or leagues he agrees to when he is persona non grata.

Proof that there’s an easy fix for a footballer when negativity he reads online might affect his focus and form. From an interviewer with McT in today’s Times.

Also Rodri made an active decision to not use Social Media
It's just such an obvious thing to do. For any footballer. And if you're someone who's already feeling persecuted then it's an absolute no-brainer. I reckon McT got more than his fair share of shit from idiots online, which must have influenced his decision.
Different mindset. Besides, pointing to social media and "doubters" is all he really has left in terms of excuses.
But he likes it. 'If youre with me good, if you doubt me...even better'
The obvious difference with Rashford for me, is that he is vested into his own brand and to maintain that requires consistent presence on social media.
I dont know if he reads his own instagram to be fair, I thought it was outsourced to a management company.
Less related but I did wonder recently how Beckham would have milked the current platforms available if he were a rising star today
Maybe some struggle with it as they end up imagining worse things being said? I do agree it seems bloody obvious to just cut out the noise, but there must be a reason why some don't.
Regarding Rashford specifically, you constantly hear of him surrounding himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear so I don't really know if this is even relevant to him.

Surely he can get someone to do that for him? There's no need for him to personally log on and wade through all the bile.
I think he does
He's not wrong though. He us talking about the issue with 'potential' for a 27 year old
Also Rashford is a horrible example to young players. I know we all have to pretend Garnacho is also 27 because shitting on him is a favourite thing that's reached for when defending Rashford, but he isn't. Mainoo is another one who is being set a horrible example by Rashford's attitudes on and off the pitch.
Rashford should be a leader in that dressing room, setting the example, helping the younger players improve. These young players aren't seeing someone who needs to play particularly well or work particularly hard to keep his place in the team. We're kidding ourselves if we think the examples this guy is setting aren't having a wider corrosive impact. Not just on young players.
Keane and the guys from that era speak about no holds barred, full force training. The competition with each other and to be the best. Now we demonstrate you don't even need to break a sweat to be guaranteed a starting bonus. It's not the sole reason why we've declined but it's one of the major ones

And Rashford does the complete opposite with his social media and PR campaign, can only digest positive comments but couldn’t handle any criticism.
This is the thing right.. as a professional footballer, if you are going to cherish and enjoy the good / positive comments, surely you know that there will be a share of bad / negative comments.
I find it strange these professional athletes crying over negative social media. You cant always have the good..
Its like fans... if we are going to gloat when we win, expect the reverse when Manutd lose..
Newcastle away last season was Mainoo's first away game, Rashford was diabolical and taken off on 60 mins
Don't we all know this? I don't even use social media. But here we are....
Amorim said he won't read anything in the media for 6-months. Great judgement call.
I steer well clear of social media, too. It really is so, so toxic. I feel sorry for the younger generation who probably feel they have to engage with it.
I don't even think the effects are fully understood, I try to keep my kids away from it...
It's pretty obvious Rashford and all these footballers should bin it off but looking at the draw it has on my kids it's a big problem that's not going away
Why is he off attending New York Nicks games? He should be at Carrington training with the new manager
I genuinely think he’ll be off to the MLS in the summer. There’s no winners in it carrying on past this season, we get a player with a poor attitude who clearly isn’t up to it anymore, whilst he gets dogs abuse for said attitude and poor performances. Yes he’s on top money, but he can get good money in the MLS, and I think he’ll just want the celeb life away from the scrutiny, whilst living in a glamorous part of the world.
He says that but his actions show the opposite. Ronaldo for instance is a true example of someone who raises their game to combat criticism. Rashford is clearly negatively affected by it and we shouldn't make time for such players with a victim mentality.
The fact they are swanning off out there after such a poor start to the season rather than staying at the training ground to work with the new manager and get themselves ready for his first game shows a poor attitude.
Amorim only starts to work with the players on monday due to permission, if I'm not wrong.
No training with the new manager until Monday…
They still should be on the training ground instead of travelling to watch other sports abroad
They also should never leave the Manchester area without redcafe permission.... What a shambles
It's good sometimes to get away during the international break
Do you really think players who havent played as poorly as Rashford has and not well enough to get called up for their National Teams should be rewarded with a holiday abroad in the middle of the season?
I hope Amorim bins him when he inevitably under performs. Rather than falling for his standard "Pele in training" routine
They were rewarded the same off days as everyone else not on international duty. How THEY choose to spend it is their prerrogative. As long as they aren't breaking the law.
