Sky Sports Experts Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp have weighed in on the current situation with Marcus Rashford at Man Utd after the striker was once again left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Thursday.

It was the second game in a row that the 27-year-old was not involved in, as he did not feature in Sunday’s 2-1 Manchester derby win at the Etihad Stadium.

Rashford’s exclusion from the squad came after Rashford admitted he was “ready for a new challenge” in an interview with journalist Henry Winter.

Neville, Carragher and Redknapp continued to discuss the situation live Sky Sports on Thursday evening – that’s what they said…

Neville: I suspect it’s going to be quite difficult behind the scenes

Gary Neville:

“Perhaps it was the emotions of the last few months that made me believe that this could all sort itself out and work out, because I don’t believe that young players with such great talent as Marcus Rashford should ever leave the club.”

“It’s one of those things that you want to see players who have been there since they were eight there forever. But in recent days it has gotten to the point where it would be best for both sides if it stopped” – and perhaps end fairly quickly if it is to continue.

“Who knows? It could resolve itself. Ruben Amorim says the right things, but I suspect things are getting pretty difficult behind the scenes now.”

“This is the second time he hasn’t been in the squad. He is one of Manchester United’s star players and has been for several years. Actions speak louder than words. Amorim says there is a future, but he doesn’t have him in the squad either.” So things aren’t going well at all.

“It’s sad because United got an incredible win on Sunday and yet they cling to victory with defeat, because a few days later it’s all about that issue and not the fact that Ruben Amorim actually got a sensational win .”

Carragher: The interview put Man Utd in a bad negotiating position

Jamie Carragher from Sky Sports:

“I feel like I’ve been talking about Marcus Rashford for the last week and I’ve already said he’s not that good of a player in the time we’re talking about him. It was Wayne Rooney, it was David Beckham, it was Cristiano Ronaldo.

“I’m not in favor of any player criticizing the club, but rather Rashford doing that without the club knowing anything about it and simply announcing that he has basically submitted a transfer request or wants to leave.” This leads to the Club is in a really bad position when it comes to negotiating his exit at some point.

“If he really believes he still wants to be a Manchester United player and have a great career, you can’t make a statement like that. You keep your mouth shut, fight and hope that you can make it.” a small chance.

“People keep talking about 30 goals, that’s a really big number. This is not unearthly. We’re looking at some players now, they have better numbers than this and he’s at Manchester United, a top team that dominates a lot of games.

“Manchester United should have a player who scores 30 goals every season. If they play 55-60 games and there is a player who can’t score 30 goals, he probably shouldn’t be at Manchester United.”

Redknapp: Rashford did Amorim a favor by showing his cards early

Jamie Redknapp from Sky Sports:

“In a way, he did Amorim a favor. He showed him his cards very early on, which isn’t always helpful from a negotiation perspective because if Marcus Rashford actually leaves, the fact that he wants to leave doesn’t help. You want to get money in.

“I don’t think Amorim had any preconceived notions. Rashford started against Ipswich in his first game, he scored a goal and a few people said: ‘Maybe he can be No9 for Manchester United’.”

“But what Amorim knows that we don’t know is seeing him every day, seeing how he trains, seeing how he lives his life, seeing how he behaves in and around the locker room, seeing him “What a role model he is.” player – and he clearly doesn’t think he’s the right kind of person he wants around him.

“You don’t leave out a big player that you want in your team from a derby game. It’s just not what you do. You want to have every good player at your side. If he doesn’t accept Ruben Amorim what he wants, he’s redundant.” Therefore, it will probably be best for Marcus to leave now, he said himself.

“Does that mean he can’t stay? Of course he can. Did Wayne Rooney submit a transfer request in 2010 and sign a new contract 48 hours later? Admittedly, he doesn’t play at Wayne Rooney’s level. But there is always a way back, but Marcus has to change because he has talent.

“Form is one thing. Anyone can have bad periods, but I think what would worry a club would be their attitude on the pitch. We saw it last year when he just wasn’t running at times, and that’s my biggest fear for him.

“Somehow he has to fall in love with football again. You have to love the game. You are incredibly lucky to play at this level. Actually it’s a sad situation because there’s no doubt that he has talent, but somehow he does. “I have to fall in love with the game again and enjoy it because at the moment it looks like he’s playing football playing under duress.”
