After Rashford scored twice against Newcastle, Man Utd manager Amorim made an amazing Hojlund deflection

When questioned about Marcus Rashford's two goals against Newcastle, Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim would rather talk about Rasmus Hojlund's goal for Napoli.

In the summer, the Red Devils let Rashford depart and join Barcelona on loan for the rest of the season. The Catalan giants have the option to make the transfer permanent next year.

After Rashford fell out of favor with Amorim, Man Utd loaned him to Premier League rivals Aston Villa for the last six months of the season.

In January, the head coach of Manchester United even said that he would rather play his goalkeeping coach than the England international because he was critical of Rashford's professionalism.

Rashford's time at Barcelona has been a combination of good and bad, and there were even some "bulls**t" rumors that they could end his loan early. But his amazing two goals against Newcastle in the Champions League proved what the Man Utd loanee can do.

Amorim, on the other hand, wanted to talk more about Hojlund's first goal for Napoli than Rashford's two goals at St. James' Park. Amorim said, "Rasmus scored, and I'm happy for Rasmus too," when questioned about Rashford's two goals.

Amorim said, "I'm not worried about that; I just want to win games."

"I don't care who plays for the other team or what people say in the end if a player plays well."

"They are good players, and they will play well if things go their way. My sole worry is the game and my teammates.

Lisandro Martinez is back in training after a bad injury. When Amorim was asked what that may do for the Man Utd defender's mind, he said, "It's really important [to be on grass]." When you hurt yourself, there is a moment when you heal a lot of things very quickly, and then there is the boring part when it seems like you can't move on.
