"Us as a club have to set the standards and have to manage that. "It's my decision if they can have five days, or three days, or three days to rest and you cannot fly."
"The Manchester United pair had travelled to the United States after missing out on selection for England and Brazil respectively, leading to a strong backlash over their decision to take a long-haul trip for such a short break."
"It's a standard that has been maintained in the year since, with the 11 first-team players not on international duty this month remaining in Carrington ahead of Monday's Premier League clash at home to Everton."
Ruben Amorim implemented a club rule preventing Manchester United players from taking long-haul flights during international breaks to promote discipline and controlled recovery. The policy followed criticism after Marcus Rashford and Casemiro traveled to the United States after missing national-team selection, which prompted debate about professionalism. Amorim initially defended the players but then established clearer limits on days off and travel. The rule has been actively applied, with 11 first-team players not on international duty remaining at the club's Carrington base ahead of a Premier League match, including the injured Benjamin Sesko.
