Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has been ruled out of Sunday’s Premier League match against Liverpool due to illness, as reported by the BBC. This adds to a series of challenges for United, who are enduring a tough season.
Rashford, 27, has faced a turbulent few weeks. Manager Ruben Amorim recently dropped him from the squad, citing poor performances in training and attitude concerns. Although Rashford was on the bench during last week’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle, he did not make it onto the pitch.
Speaking ahead of the Liverpool game, Amorim confirmed Rashford’s absence:
“At the moment, he is ill. He is not training, and this week he is out.”

Amorim also acknowledged uncertainty surrounding Rashford’s future at the club. While United is open to loaning him out, his reported £300,000-per-week wages complicate potential transfers. Napoli has expressed interest, and there are rumors linking Rashford to Paris Saint-Germain, though he has dismissed offers from Saudi Arabian clubs despite their lucrative deals.
United’s struggles extend beyond Rashford. The team sits 14th in the Premier League, a shocking position for a club of their stature. They have lost four consecutive matches, including three at home—a feat not seen in over six decades.
On a positive note, Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte will return from suspension for the Liverpool game, providing a much-needed boost. However, United will need a collective effort to turn their season around and avoid further decline.
