Manchester United’s hatchet job on Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho will come up during the executive committee meeting today, according to The Athletic.
Manager Ruben Amorim opted to drop them from the matchday squad for the trip to Manchester City, and it proved to be effective as the Red Devils left it late to secure a 2-1 win in their absence.
Amorim insists the decision was not a disciplinary measure as Rashford and Garnacho did not do enough in recent games and training sessions to earn a place in the team against their bitter city rivals.
They both trained on Sunday morning and will now hope to return to the squad for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday for the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Rashford was linked with a January transfer exit last week, and the board will be more than ready to sanction a sale after the latest decision from Amorim.
He has a chance to prove himself in the coming weeks, but whether he is capable of changing his attitude remains to be seen, given how he often misbehaved under former manager Erik ten Hag.
It has not taken long for Rashford to get on the wrong side of the new boss, and it will not surprise many people if he ends up leaving the club soon.
The Man United academy graduate has a contract with the club until 2028, but getting his £300,000-per-week wages off their bill will be useful as they look to comply with Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
The best managers never hesitate to make the hard decisions just to get the job done, and Amorim is ready to be ruthless in his bid to get Man United back to the top of English football.
