Ruben Amorim holds no ill will towards Marcus Rashford, meaning there is still a chance for the winger’s future at Old Trafford.

Rashford clearly has something to prove to the Portuguese coach, but there’s a possibility of reconciliation.

In recent interviews, Amorim has emphasized the importance of setting standards.

The implication is that Rashford has not met these expectations, but if he can adjust his approach, he could be welcomed back into the team.

It’s refreshing to see a manager standing firm on his principles.

Sir Alex Ferguson led with an iron fist and remains widely regarded as the greatest British manager.

While Amorim is not quite in Ferguson’s league, his determination to stick to his methods, regardless of the result, echoes the legendary figure’s approach.

Aston Villa eyeing Marcus Rashford

With the right players and full backing from the Manchester United board, the club could potentially turn a corner and return to its former glory.

Recently, especially at the Red Devils, there’s been an overreaction from both fans and club boards following disappointing results.

Any new project deserves time to develop, and Amorim seems committed to being the manager to usher in a new era post-Ferguson.

If that involves parting ways with players like Rashford, so be it. Aston Villa might play a key role in that transition.
