Saudi Arabian giant ready to rescue Rashford, MU says goodbye to League Cup

Rashford was again left out of the squad for the FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham by coach Ruben Amorim. This is the second consecutive match that the 27-year-old striker has been left out of the squad, after the 2-1 derby win over Man City on December 15.

MU continues to miss Rashford, but loses to Tottenham in the League Cup

Coach Ruben Amorim explained: "Why was Rashford left out? Regarding the starting lineup, I chose players who I felt were ready to cope with the demands of playing a competitive and energetic match."

Without Rashford, coach Ruben Amorim continued to put his trust in young star Amad Diallo. MU had a rather dramatic match with Tottenham. After being down 3-0, the "Red Devils" shockingly scored consecutive goals to reduce the score to 2-3 thanks to Zirkzee and Diallo.

However, late in the match, mistakes from reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir allowed Son Heung-min to raise the score to 4-2 for Tottenham. In injury time, veteran midfielder Jonny Evans reduced the score to 3-4 for MU, but could not change the situation.

Tottenham have qualified for the League Cup semi-finals and will face Liverpool, while Arsenal will face Newcastle in the other match. The first and second legs of the League Cup semi-finals will be played in early January and early February 2025.

Rashford may go to Saudi Arabia to play

Meanwhile, regarding the future of striker Rashford, coach Ruben Amorim remains vague: "Of course, he is a MU player. Tomorrow (December 21) we will return to training, and Rashford will be there, preparing for the next match and you will see the starting lineup."

According to the Telegraph , MU will put Rashford on the transfer list in early 2025. Currently, there are 4 top clubs in the Saudi Pro League ready to negotiate, besides Al Qadisah Club is also interested. MU wants to part with Rashford (the player has a contract until June 2028) for a fee of about 50 million USD.

Rashford recently spoke out after being repeatedly left out of the squad by coach Ruben Amorim, saying: "Ready for a challenge and a new chapter in my career, after a long time playing for MU."
