Paul Merson: The job of Ruben amorim on the line in the Man Utd -us by the decision of Marcus Rashford | Football news
Paul Merson says the job of Ruben amorim at Manchester United could be in line if Marcus Rashford succeeds at the Aston Vili.
Rashford moved from Old Trafford over the weekend, signing for Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old did not appear for United from their victory over Viktoria Plzen in mid-December and was associated with a move to AC Milan and Barcelona before finally moving to Villa Park on Sunday.
It will be the first time Rashford has played for someone else but the red devils who have scored 426 first -team appearances since 2016 since 2016.
And Merson insists that Amorim’s job could be in line if Rashford rediscovers its shape in the villa and Manchester United, who suffered another defeat of the home in Crystal Palace on Sunday, continue to fight.
“Ruben Amorim is running out of ideas right now,” Merson said Sky Sports News. “Fight bad.
“What he did with the situation in Rashford is fantastic.
“His job is on the line at this rate. If Rashford scores 10 goals in 10 games – and Manchester United continues the way they play – then the committee will ask the question:” What are you doing? “
Merson thinks Rashford will be determined to prove that I am wrong and that it could be expensive for the Portuguese manager at Old Trafford.
He added, “He could be one of them where his fans and the manager opened his hands and he would leave, ‘I’ll show these amomes. You focused badly, saying that I would not go in over 63-year-old goalkeeper.”
“I think it can come back. It could be very bad for Amorim – it would be under strong pressure if they continue to play badly and Rashford starts breaking it in the villa. It won’t be a manchester United manager for long!”
‘Rashford has a great opportunity in a villa’
Rashford was a constant feature under the old chief Erik Ten Hag, but quickly fell in favor when he went through the door.
The first goal of Amorim’s mandate in drawing 1-1 with Ipswich and grabbed a bracelet against Everton, but was then limited to replacement of appearances before being totally left from the team.
Rashford could make his debut when Villa meets Tottenham on Sunday in the fourth circle of Fa Cup, and Merson believes that the attacker has an “incredible opportunity” to bring his career back on the right path.
He said, “He goes to one of the best teams in the Premier League. A great club, a great support.
“One trick we all miss here is that he has to bring his head with him. Nothing changes. It’s a big cube, a big cube and a gamble.
“But if he goes to the villa, one of the players will miss – Jacob Ramsey or something. Maybe they’re fine now because Watkins was injured.
“But if that doesn’t work, it’s Wow – £ 300,000 a week. I just worry it’s a long time for him, you can’t just include him as a tap. There were problems.
“I hope he will classify for a villa and a guy – because his career will end quickly if he doesn’t do it. He has been given an incredible opportunity in the big club and he has to use him. This is not the case of reinforcement, a different shirt, it will be fine.
Rashford: The ambition of the villa was a big draw
In the meantime, Rashford says that the “permanent ambition” Aston villa has attracted him to the club and hopes to rediscover his shape in Villa Park.
The 27-year-old admitted the ambition of the villa and the possibility of playing in the highest European competition was what convinced him to move to Birmingham.
In the first interview he said Vila TV: “Definitely excited. It’s an ambitious time for this club and a great opportunity to join this team and help them keep pushing forward. I’m excited and can’t wait for my first training and play.
“[Unai Emery] is a top manager and what he has done for the club since he entered is amazing. It is their permanent ambition that is attractive and why you want to join a club like that. You want to continue to improve from year to year and that’s the team this year.
“They are still in the Champions League and we want to go as much as we can, and if you do not want to win it, you will never win it, so it will be my main goal and continue to push in the league to get as far as possible.
“This is my first time I play for any other team, so you don’t know what to expect, but it was more excitement, not scared to enter a new environment, so everything is exciting, but with them guys [Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa from England] Being there is good. “
Rashford could make his debut when Villa meets Tottenham on Sunday in the fourth round of FA Cup.
Asked why he wanted to join the villa, he said: “They are a club in a good position in the league and pushes to become more and more. Still in the Champions League, a good manager, an ambitious manager, a big talent on the team.
“I had to choose somewhere where my football style is appropriate and it can help them and help me to discover and improve as a player again, the only short deadline and I want to use my time here.
“The biggest competition for a club that will be included and always great nights, so there will be a new experience for me by playing for a champions league villa, but as I said it would always be a great moment, but the goals will be. Let’s do our best to beat him. “
Neville: Villa and Emery are exactly what Rashford needs
Sky Sports’ Gary Neville:
“He had to get out of the club. The last few weeks had been beaten by his manager. This is the only person that is important in football, your coach, and I think some statements Ruben Amorim to Marcus Rashford were brutal, extremely saying that he did not want him.
“There are several things that are in his favor in the villa. At this point he will go to a far better team, go to a coach who is a world class, which is a real opportunity for him.
“This puts pressure on Marcus to perform for Unai Emery, because if you don’t play for him, you somehow say Ruben may be a problem, Eric Ten Hag could be a problem. Unai Emery can’t be and a problem for Rashford.
“The second thing is the style of the game. As the fairy plays, I think you could fit Rashford too. Maybe in the spotlight will not be quite on it as it was in Manchester United, but there will certainly be a lot of attention. Villa are in a lot of competitions, They still have a lot to play and that’s the right opportunity for Marcus.
“Absolutely sounds like he needs. The last thing I would think of Rashford should be at the moment someone just said,” Go and enjoy. “You should have some discipline in his game, he should be trained and he needs to ensure that the team knows exactly what is what they want from him.
“Unai Emery will do this, he is an absolutely amazing coach. This is exactly what Marcus Rashford needs and what he has to do is buy.”
