Forget Kobbie Mainoo, Man United’s ‘world-class’ star ready to save his career after Ruben Amorim sack
Ruben Amorim’s departure from Old Trafford could open up routes for several players to reignite their careers as Man United players.
Man United cut ties with Amorim following a bust-up with Jason Wilcox behind the scenes, with Darren Fletcher taking over in the dugout ahead of facing Burnley on Wednesday, 7 January.
He has record the same points per game as Bruno Lage, Alan Pardew, and Chris Coleman, but even so, there was a growing hope, with the Red Devils sitting sixth in the Premier League table.
This comes just days after Chelsea parted ways with Enzo Maresca, with some even suggesting that the former Leicester City boss might be in talks with the hierarchy at Old Trafford.
Man United exiles could be over after Ruben Amorim sack
Both managers have been known for creating their own “bomb squads,” with Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi very much still isolated from the rest of the group at Cobham Training Centre.
The same can be said at Carrington, though Tyrell Malacia appears to have forced his way back into the squad, while Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Andre Onana have all been loaned out.
Rasmus Hojlund and Antony found permanent homes during the summer, ending any hope of them returning to Manchester, but there is still time for others to turn their career around.
Kobbie Mainoo has been heavily linked with a Man United exit, even heading into the January transfer window, but he could now thrive under the leadership of Fletcher, or whoever is to come next.
Marcus Rashford could make a sensational return to Old Trafford
In addition to the young midfielder, Man United fans have also been hoping for Rashford to return, and the star winger, who Hojlund labelled “world-class” appears to have outlived the manager who got rid of him [SABC Sport].
Since joining Barcelona on loan, the 28-year-old has gone from strength to strength, notching seven goals and eight assists in 25 appearances, including two Champions League braces.
Supporters still keep a keen eye on his performances over in La Liga, with the hope of him returning at the end of the 2025-26 campaign, and that dream could become a reality after the latest revelation.
Those from around the Premier League were baffled by the fallout at Old Trafford, with several clubs lining up for his signature, but with Amorim gone now, Rashford has the perfect chance to rebuild his career in Manchester.
