Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim insists the team is stronger with Marcus Rashford, despite the striker hinting at wanting a new challenge in his career. Rashford, 27, expressed his readiness for a change after being omitted from the squad in a recent derby win against Manchester City. Amorim emphasized Rashford's talent and importance to the club, stating the focus is on helping him perform at his best. While acknowledging Rashford's desire for a new challenge, Amorim noted the existing challenges at United, highlighting the club's stature and current difficulties.
