Ian Wright has leapt to the defence of Marcus Rashford after the Manchester United forward was left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad for Thursday’s Carabao Cup clash against Spurs.
It has been an eventful month for Rashford, who recently said he is “ready for a new challenge” amid rumours over his future at his boyhood club.
The 27-year-old’s comments came just days after being left out of United’s matchday squad for the Manchester derby – a decision he described as “disheartening” during an interview with journalist Henry Winter.
It’s disappointing but I’m also someone as I’ve got older I can deal with setbacks,” Rashford added. “What am I going to do about it? Sit there and cry about it. Or do my best the next time I’m available.”
After being left out again for United’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Spurs, a defiant Ruben Amorim insisted he was right to drop the out-of-form forward, who has scored seven goals in 24 games this season.
