Ruben Amorim's reasoning behind Marcus Rashford's removal has been exposed and some Manchester United fans will not be happy.
Rashford's last few months at Old Trafford have been nothing short of turbulent.
Since the arrival of the new manager amorimthe 27-year-old has remained firmly on the sidelines.
He was out for four games, but returned to the Portuguese coach's squad in the 2-0 defeat against Newcastle, although he was on the bench for the entire match.
Now, Amorim's decision to leave Rashford out has been fully explained.
In December, United won Everton 4-0 at the Theater of Dreams.
It was a great performance from Rashford, who scored two goals.
According The AthleticAfter that match, Amorim was told that two days earlier, 48 hours before the match, Rashford had spent Friday night in Manchester.
The United manager was not impressed and does not want his players going out to bars so close to games.
When Amorim questioned Rashford about the alleged night out, he told the manager he had been misinformed.
However, three days later, Rashford was left out of the starting XI for United's trip to Arsenal.
His absence could have simply been due to squad rotation, but it raises questions as to whether Rashford's social life was the reason for Amorim's decision, especially in light of his continued absence.
