Marcus Rashford brakes silence in reaction to victory over Manchester City

In a thrilling turn of events, Manchester United emerged victorious over their city rivals Manchester City in a 2-1 win. Marcus Rashford, a Manchester United forward, has broken his silence on social media in response to the stunning comeback.

Marcus Rashford was notably absent from the squad in the surprising victory, a decision made by Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. Despite Rashford being physically fit and available to play, Amorim made the shock decision to leave him out of the United squad altogether.

Rashford later took to Instagram to share a celebratory post following the game, seemingly expressing approval of his team's performance and victory. Alongside a picture of his TV showcasing the victorious team, Rashford captioned his post, "Yesssssssss! Love it lads." showing his support for the team even in his absence.

Amorim faced questions about his choice to leave Rashford out of the game, to which he replied, "It's not a disciplinary thing." He challenged his players to push their standards high and reiterated that the treatment would be equal amongst all players. If they train well, they will be considered for the team or bench.

With injuries such as the one that Mason Mount sustained during the game and possible reshuffling of the team, there may be an opportunity for Rashford to be back in the fold, alongside Alejandro Garnacho, who was also left out against City.

United is set to return to action on Thursday evening in the Carabao Cup, taking on Tottenham Hotspur for a spot in the semi-finals of the first domestic cup competition of the 2024/25 season. The performance of Manchester United in the game against Manchester City leaves fans and players alike optimistic about what's to come.
