Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, made the bold choice to bench Marcus Rashford again for the Premier League game against Bournemouth. This marks the third consecutive match that Rashford has missed from the squad, and things haven't been going smoothly since Amorim took over. He stepped in after Erik Ten Hag was let go midseason and decided not to include the 27-year-old in the lineup for last Sunday’s thrilling 2-1 derby win against Manchester City.

Amorim mentioned “selection” reasons for Rashford's absence, similar to his explanation when Rashford was left out of Thursday’s 4-3 loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

After making the decision to exclude Rashford for the Bournemouth match, Amorim made it clear that it was his call.

Rashford sidelined again? That's totally my call, and it always will be. I want to bring out the best in my players, so I experiment with different lineups, and that's where my attention lies, he shared with Sky.

The local talent had a standout interview during that time, mentioning on Tuesday that he felt “prepared for a new challenge and the next steps.”

"Honestly, I believe I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps," Rashford expressed in his chat with British journalist Henry Winter on social media.

When I go, there won’t be any hard feelings. You won’t hear any negative remarks from me about Manchester United. That’s just who I am.

If I see that things are already tough, I’m not going to add to the mess. I’ve watched how other players have exited before, and I don’t want to be that guy. When I do leave, I’ll put out a statement, and it’ll come straight from me.

Rashford was once again on the sidelines as Bournemouth came to Old Trafford on Sunday, with United saying he was missing due to selection choices again.
