Leny Yoro offers insight into Marcus Rashford's Man Utd exit with Ruben Amorim admission | OneFootball

Manchester United centre-back Leny Yoro has admitted head coach Ruben Amorim will "kill" anyone who does not perform in training, just days after exiled forward Marcus Rashford left the club.

Amorim spoke openly about his disappointment towards Rashford's training levels after dropping him from the matchday squad for December's Manchester derby, repeatedly urging the forward to raise his game and force his way back into the fold.

Things did not work out like that, however, as Rashford ultimately remained frozen out for over a month before joining Aston Villa on a loan which includes the option for a permanent transfer away from United in the summer.

The extent of Amorim's demanding approach to training was made clear during Yoro's recent appearance on Rio Ferdinand Presents, in which the centre-back revealed the head coach's approach to poor trainers.

"I have a good relationship with Ruben Amorim," he said. "I just try to do what he asks me to do.

"He's big on communication with the players because he played at a top level. He's been at a lot of clubs, so he knows your feelings when you're not playing or when you have a bad game. He knows how to speak with you, and that's really important for me.

"In training, it's really hard. But it's important. We have a lot of training and, for him, training is really important because you play the game like you train. The most important thing is to be really good in training. If you are not working, if you are lazy in training, he won't like you. He'll kill you! It's normal because, yeah, you play like you train.

"He's really strict on this because, to win games and trophies, you need to be disciplined outside the pitch. You need to be punctual."
