In the English Premier League, the 16th round of the Manchester City Derby was rekindled, but was overshadowed by the absence of Manchester United's twin stars Rashford and Ghana Joe. This unexpected lineup adjustment has quickly become the center of discussion among fans and the media.
Former Manchester United star Roy Keane has been outspoken in an interview, giving insight into the absences. Keane said bluntly, "The absence certainly sends a strong signal that new manager Amorim seems to be unhappy with certain aspects of the game, perhaps because the players' training and on-field performances have not lived up to expectations."
Keane went on to comment, "For long-time United fans, the recent performances of Rashford and Gancho have been really difficult to praise. Perhaps Amorim couldn't stand this persistent slump and took decisive action."
Nonetheless, Keane was supportive of Amorim's decision, "It's a bold decision, but I'm pleased with Amorim's willingness to make changes. He's willing to make tough choices for the greater good of the team."
Speaking about Rashford's future, Keane made a controversial point: "For Rashford, a move might bring new opportunities. He's been at United for a long time, but if his attitude and performances remain where they are, then a parting of ways could be the best option for both parties."
