Really? He hasn’t disrespected the club. His boyhood club. Only 11 players in our history have scored more than him for us.
Yes he needs to leave it looks like now. But I’ll be wishing him well.
After a massive derby win, which could help turn around and kickstart Amorim new tenure, and for a game he was dropped because of his overall demeanour, Rashford goes and gives an interview 2 days after and now Amorim is speaking about Rashford more than a massive derby win
So yes he is disrespectful and unprofessional. His goals and contribution don’t change that.
What I find striking in this thread is talk about Rashford and playing for England. He seems like the complete anti tuchel player, I doubt he touches him with a 10 foot poll.
And the United circus goes on 
It will be a shame to see him go, purely because he is youth product, but its looking like he doesn't want to stay and fight for a spot under the new system. Instead looking to leave the moment he is dropped, and sees a system that doesn't suit his current way of playing.

It’s funny how so many posters here don’t see how badly he has played this situation out just cause he is a local academy product. If this was done by a player who was a transfer or a foreigner the pitchforks would have been out.
Not that I would want him now but getting in FDJ after ETH has gone would be some great humor
He gave the press an easy talking point to pile onto Amorim
You've already seen it in the prematch press conference against Spurs, pretty much every single question is about about Rashford and Amorim is visibly annoyed about this too.
For now, Amorim has managed to brilliantly answer them as diplomatically as possible. But it won't stop, you just know the questions will keep coming in all of our upcoming games.
If I'm being cynical, I think that's exactly what Rashford is after. He does not have the best interest of the club at heart, in fact I'd go as far to say he is actively trying to sabotage the team's harmony
If I was INEOS, I'd get the press officer to ban all questions pertaining to Rashford and freeze Rashford out of the squad Sancho/Ronaldo style then fecked him off the moment the January window opens. This is the type of dressing room virus Mourinho was talking about.
Guess he’s going to up his game then when playing to attract potential suitors. Because at the minute you ain’t going to have Preston interested in you mate.
Also, Amorim is fortunate that we came back to beat City. Can you imagine this interview in the aftermath of a defeat after leaving Rashford out? It'd be carnage.
You've no evidence Rashford is disrupting the dressing room. The fact he mentions he won't have a bad word to say about United backs that up.
Leicester is struggling, Vardy is getting old, Ruud is the manager. They only play counter attacking football. Hes ability is on bar with that club as well. He would fit like a glow. If it not that stupid salary.
(I know that he would never set his foot in the Foxes, but if the world was realistic..)

They probably can't even afford Welbeck
Why would he have a bad word? I didn't get what he meant by that. We've paid him incredibly well for not much return. Certainly the last 3 or 4 years.
Mate. Do you think the interview, the timing and dare I say whilst giving presents to kids was not planned?
We just beat City, have a manager who is doing and saying the right things and then has to face this?
If anything it gives rise to suspicion that it's always been Rashford sabotaging with the constant leaks etc.
So whats the story? He called in sick but was in a school a day after giving presents?
Why didn’t he travel with the squad?
He was ill according muppeteer
3 more games before the January window opens. Surely he’ll be involved again before the new year?
officially - sick the day before the derby, then trained 'really well' on Sunday, then the interview, then "sick" again ..
He has history for responding to the fans though. He’s responded on social about how he’s treated a few times. He’s flipped them off when waiting after games for autographs.
He might not say anything about the club. But it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he had a few structured comments about how he feels he was treated by fans
Always the victim
You are twisting his words to suit your meaning. Amorim said in a general quote that everything is important, how you train, eat, interact with team mates. He didn’t focus on one area. He’s likely as being dropped for disrupting the dressing room as he is eating kebabs given the above quote. There is no evidence of him disrupting the dressing room.
His general demeanour was not professional, focused, appropriate (which it should, due to position in the team). There was a bit about pushing your team mates. The manager probably would consider this disrupting to the dressing room and the tone he's trying to set.
Absolute bollocks. There is no evidence of him disrupting the dressing room. You are inventing fiction. Lots to criticise Rashford for but this is not it.
Fixed
He would not have a bad word. That’s what he said.
Tbf if they had to make a list of rashy's most devoted fans then roades would make it to a distant third after phil brown and the undisputed champion Henry Winter
He's played his last game for Utd, he won't be back. I expect he'll be sold the first week in Jan, they won't want it to drag out for any longer
Parallels with Sancho? Watching Amorims interview and him saying he wouldn't have handled it that way is frankly top tier diplomacy.
Garnacho is angry and training well, Rashford is throwing his toys out of his pram and ill.
I think that shows all you need to know about the players.,

How is this interview not disruptive to the dressing room? For that matter how is refusing to actually put effort on the pitch not disruptive?
Maybe a move to Merseyside might suit him.
every question was already about Rashford mate, Amorim and the club made sure of that by dropping him
ultimately that had to happen anyway because he deserved it
so the fact Rashford has come out and said his piece is healthy for everyone involved
it's going to help him and the club move forward, not get stuck in this toxic cycle
I agree he should have told the club but whatever, it's Rashford, he lives in PR-land, and it's part of the reason we're jettisoning the fecker anyway
Does this mean we will re-call Sancho and let Amorim assess him over the second half of the season?
Tired of the victim card. Don't know how much it's him, the agents, the family, entourage/advisers or whatever, but he clearly needs a fresh start somewhere else. I think the Bundesliga would suit him but his salary will be a problem.
Has he actually been reported as disrupting the dressing room? No. Did Amorim say he was dropped for disciplinary issues? No. Garnacho was dropped for the same reasons. Was he disrupting the dressing room as well?
Well, no.
The interview was scheduled for the Tuesday before the City game then had to be put back, due to the clubs hospital visits.
The school visit was also planned a while ago so the interview wasn't originally scheduled to happen while he was at the school.
He didn't though, did he? You're twisting words here.
He said this not just about Rashford or Garnacho, it was about everyone at the club. On top of training well, dressing well etc.
that was before the interview, after that he only said if it was him he wouldn't do the interview. It's quite obvious creating a shitstorm arund one underperforming player is disrupting, it boggles my mind how people are defending it.
That pre match presser was mental. Don't think there was one question about Spurs, being in a QF tonight or even a question about the City game not relating to Rashford.
Like, yes the whole thing is a huge story. But after even 4/5 questions, the press officer should have stepped in, saying that was enough and was there actually any questions pertaining to anything else?
Amorim has handled it all superbly but bloody hell he should be getting some help against that mob.

Defending what? People making stuff up to suit their narratives? Rashford and Garnacho were dropped due to their performances not being good enough, they were not dropped because they are disrupting the dressing room. Of course he said it's better to speak to the manager but he didn't say he was dropped for that, he's not in the squad as its ill. Amorim has clearly said in his previous press conference if people are dropped for disciplinary reasons, he would say so.
