Luke Shaw Breaks Silence, Reveals Why Amorim kicked out Rashford, Gerancho Out From The Squad.

 Luke Shaw has opened up about what’s really been going on behind the scenes at Manchester United, shedding light on the growing tension between manager Ruben Amorim and several high-profile players.

According to a report by Daily Mail UK, Amorim took over in November 2024 after replacing Erik ten Hag, and he’s wasted no time stamping his authority on the squad.

The first major fallout came with Marcus Rashford, who’s now on loan at Barcelona. Amorim has taken a no-nonsense approach to discipline, demanding maximum effort and focus from every player, something that hasn’t gone down well with some.

Currently, United are on their U.S. tour without four players, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia, who were left behind to train at Carrington. Shaw says this strict approach is exactly what the club needed

“From the outside, it’s been obvious how negative things have been here for a while,” Shaw admitted. “The atmosphere was toxic, it wasn’t a healthy environment.”

He praised Amorim’s tough standards and clear expectations. “There are no slackers anymore. Ruben’s demands are high, and he doesn’t accept anything less than 100 percent. If you’re giving 85 or 90, that’s not enough.”

Shaw added that Amorim treats every player the same, regardless of status. “He’s not afraid to make big calls. If someone isn’t doing what he asks, they won’t play. And rightly so.”

The defender says the whole squad now backs the manager. “We’re all behind him and fully committed to his ideas. At the end of the day, it’s his job on the line, and we’ve got to deliver.”
