The "Manchester Evening News" reported that in order to change the status quo, Manchester United midfielder Menu did not choose to rest during the international match day holiday, but instead trained.
Only 16 months ago, Menu was England's starting player in the European Cup final, but now, not only has he been shut out of the national team, but he is also facing the dilemma of being "refrigerated" by coach Amorim at the club.
Amorim went to a sports center in Estepona, Spain, for high-intensity training, and posted videos and pictures of himself challenging his limits on social media. This move was widely interpreted by the outside world as a clear signal that he was eager to compete to coach Amorim and the outside world.
However, the cruel reality is that Amorim does not seem to trust Menu. In addition, Manchester United missed the European war this season and was humiliatingly eliminated by the League Two team Grimsby in the League Cup. The team has few opportunities to compete, which makes Menu's situation even worse.
With only six months left before the start of the World Cup, England coach Tuchel has made it clear that he will not select players who cannot play in the club. This means that if the status quo cannot be changed, Menu will become an "abandoned" for both the club and the national team.
The only way out seems to be to seek to leave the team on loan in January, but this will not be easy. It is understood that Manchester United has rejected Menu's loan request once before. At the same time, the club's top executive Sir Ratcliffe publicly expressed his support for Amorim, which means that the head coach's position is very stable in the short term. In such a dilemma, Menu's future looks quite bleak.
