Ruben Amorim Enforces New Manchester United Ban After Rashford, Casemiro Cases

• Ruben Amorim has confirmed he will seek to change some rules around off days after recent incidents
• Marcus Rashford and Casemiro were blasted for flying to the USA for holidays in the middle of the season
• Amorim absolved the two from blame but promised to put stringent rules as he continues to settle into his new role

New Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has hinted at introducing stricter laws at the club two weeks after he officially took over.

Amorim began his new role on November 1 and took charge of his first game on Sunday. His side drew 1-1 away to Ipswich Town.

What did Rashford and Casemiro do?

The former Sporting Lisbon boss was forced to respond to questions about Marcus Rashford and Casemiro after the duo were spotted in the United States during the international break.

The pair were not called up for national duty by their respective countries and chose to go to America. Rashford was spotted courtside at Madison Square Garden during the New York Knicks' game against the Brooklyn Nets. Casemiro, meanwhile, was at Disney World in Florida.

Amorim calls for tougher rules

Club legend Gary Neville called out the pair, but Amorim defended them even as he called for a new approach.

"We cannot put this on the players. They told them they had five days off, so they could fly anywhere. Because nobody in the club says, you cannot fly. So we cannot, this time, put that on Rash or Case," he said as quoted by GOAL.

The 39-year-old was not part of the decision, but now that he has settled into his new role, he intends to change the rule going forward.

"Would I set a different structure? Yes, for sure. It’s my decision if they can have five days, or three days, or three days to rest and you cannot fly. This is something that we as a club have to decide. So this must be started in the club, with us and me being responsible in that area."
