- Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford and his new coach Ruben Amorim have reportedly stopped speaking to each other.
- The England star has not participated in a game for the club since December 12 and has sparked rumors of a potential move this month.
- Amorim opted for his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach over Rashford following their victory over Fulham
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is said to have reportedly stopped speaking to striker Marcus Rashford.
The Portuguese coach has controversially said he'd rather field his goalkeeper coach than the English star player.
The 27-year-old has been mentioned as a potential departure, but he assures that he is prepared to take the field whenever required.
Are things between Martial and Rashford in shambles?
According to The Guardian, the relationship between the two has deteriorated over the past few days after Amorim stated he would prefer to select his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach, Jorge Vital, ahead of a player who does not give his best.
So, the report indicates that Amorim and Rashford have a strained relationship and the coach communicates with the player only during team meetings.
Rashford has not played for his homegrown club since mid-December, and he does not have face-to-face conversations with Amorim.

It's the same situation for every player," Amorim said. "If you do the maximum, if you do the right things – we can use every player. You can see it on the bench today – we lack a little speed to change the game, to move some players, but I prefer it like that.
I will place Vital on the bench before I put in a player who doesn't deliver their best every single day, so I won't make that change.
Several high-profile clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Juventus, and Barcelona, have reportedly shown interest in acquiring the attacker, but it appears that he will be remaining with his current team.
Rashford signed a new deal in 2023 following a record-breaking campaign during which he scored an impressive 30 goals, according to BBC Sport.
Will Rashford sign with Manchester United again?
Rashford has faced challenges in maintaining his scoring form since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, netting only 11 Premier League goals so far.
According to The Athletic, Rashford was absent for less than 48 hours before Manchester United's 4-0 win over Everton and Amorim sought clarification on his activities.
He was disciplined by the club following several instances of misconduct under manager Erik ten Hag's tenure. It appears that the England international has yet to convince Amorim that he is prepared to play.
“He definitely has an advantage over others. It will depend fully on him; he needs to have a strong desire to take part. He is already in the location and ready to participate, provided I make that decision."
