Marcus Rashford was a talking point pre-match after his omission for the Manchester United squad to face Man City
The England’s winger posted a four-word message on social media celebrating their dramatic win over rivals Manchester City.
The Ruben Amorim era has received the boost it needed as Manchester United completed a remarkable comeback win against Manchester City.
With City leading 1-0 until the 86th minute, a penalty won by Amad saw them draw level before the same man was on hand again to give United all three points.
For Ruben Amorim, it was a statement vindication in a game where he put his reputation on the line with some massive calls.
Perhaps none bigger than putting Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho on the bench and then not shying away from accepting that it was a completely tactical choice.
Marcus Rashford as the big talking point ahead of United’s showdown with Pep Guardiola’s side as new head coach Ruben Amorim made the bold decision to drop the academy graduate and Alejandro Garnacho from the squad.
The Englishman has generally stepped up his game vs Manchester City so his exclusion from the starting XI would have been a surprise.
Amorim, however, took it a step further and removed from the squad altogether. As United failed to capitalise on transition opportunities, the murmurs were starting that they missed Rashford’s pace.
However, all those questions were put to rest when Amad, the player who has effectively taken Garnacho and Rashford’s role, scripted a memorable comeback.
Rashford went on Instagram after the game and sent a four-word message that read:
“Yesssssssss! Love it lads”, accompanied by two heart emojis
