Man United in Turmoil! Major Injury Blow Shakes Squad Ahead of Pivotal Clash with Wolves
Latest Manchester United Injury Updates for Wolves Clash and Rashford’s Potential Inclusion
As Manchester United prepares to face Wolves on Boxing Day, uncertainty surrounds Marcus Rashford’s inclusion in the squad. Wolves, battling relegation, pose a significant challenge, but Rashford’s availability remains a major talking point.
Rashford’s Recent Exclusion
Rashford was notably left out of the squad for the Manchester Derby, with manager Ruben Amorim citing a tactical decision. Following United’s victory over City, Rashford hinted at seeking a fresh challenge away from Old Trafford. He was also absent during the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth but was seen at the stadium.
Ahead of the Wolves match, Amorim shared his expectations for Rashford, emphasizing leadership and resilience. “Players with great talent have greater responsibilities,” Amorim stated. “This is one of the toughest periods for our club, and we need everyone to push forward and be strong.”
Amorim’s Perspective on Rashford
Addressing the off-field distractions, Amorim acknowledged the challenges surrounding Rashford but stressed his focus on the player’s development. “These players have people influencing their decisions, but my job is to focus on their performance and training,” he said. “Marcus is a talented player we need, and I prefer to concentrate on his potential rather than external matters.”
