According to news published by BBC, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford will not feature in Sunday's Premier League match against Liverpool due to illness. This announcement comes as another setback for United, who are struggling in the league this season.
Rashford, 27, has had a challenging few weeks at the club. Manager Ruben Amorim had previously dropped him from the squad due to what was described as poor performances in training and attitude issues. While Rashford returned to the bench for last week's match against Newcastle, he was not called upon during the game, which United lost 2-0.
Manager Amorim confirmed Rashford's absence in a press conference ahead of the Liverpool game. "At the moment, he is ill. He is not training, and this week he is out," Amorim stated. He also mentioned that Rashford's future at the club remains uncertain. While Manchester United is open to loaning him out, high wages-reportedly over £300,000 per week-complicate potential moves.
Despite interest from clubs such as Napoli and rumors linking him to Paris Saint-Germain, Rashford has shown no interest in joining Saudi Arabian teams, which have offered lucrative deals to many players recently.
Meanwhile, United has been struggling on multiple fronts. They are currently 14th in the league table, a disappointing position for a club with such a storied history. The team has lost four games in a row, including three consecutive matches at home-a streak not seen in over 60 years.
On a brighter note, midfielder Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte will return from suspension for the Liverpool match. However, Amorim's team will need more than just individual returns to turn their season around.
