Marcus Rashford Opens Up: “I’m Fit – But He Was the Real Issue!”
Rashford Blames Confidence Dip on Teammate Amad Diallo
In a surprising twist, Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has broken his silence on the real reason behind his poor form last season – and it wasn’t an injury.
In a recent interview, Rashford said he’s back to full fitness and ready to return to training under new boss Amorim. However, he claims that his drop in performance wasn’t physical — it was mental, and largely caused by teammate Amad Diallo.
“I’m in great shape now. I’ve spoken with the club and Amorim, and I’m coming back to full training,” Rashford said. “A lot of people think I don’t care or that I’m lazy, but they have no clue what was really happening.”
The shock came when Rashford admitted:
“It was Amad. The way he played made me question my own ability. Week after week, he was starting ahead of me, and I felt like all the work I’d put into this club could be undone by one more strong season from him. He could become the face of Manchester United — even ahead of Bruno.”
These comments have stunned fans, especially given Rashford’s long-standing status as one of United’s brightest homegrown talents.
Still, Rashford is determined to reclaim his place:
“I’m not giving up. I’ve been here for years and fought too hard. This is my team.”
As Amad Diallo continues to impress and Amorim begins reshaping the squad, Rashford’s future at Old Trafford is suddenly uncertain — but he’s clearly ready for a battle
