A former Manchester United midfielder has made a huge decision over his international future after refusing to play under the current manager.
Manchester United have experienced plenty of managerial turbulence since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick, Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim have all taken charge permanently, with Michael Carrick now back in the dugout.
That constant change has shown how important the relationship between a manager and his players can be.
When trust disappears, performances can suffer and, in extreme cases, players can simply decide that they no longer want to work under a particular coach.
One former United midfielder has now taken exactly that stance at international level.
The player in question is Sofyan Amrabat, who has announced that he will not make himself available for Morocco while the current head coach remains in charge.
Writing on his official Instagram story, Amrabat explained that representing his country had been the greatest honour of his career, but added that he does not feel able to continue under the present manager.
He stressed that he is not retiring from international football and has left the door open to playing for Morocco again in the future.
Amrabat is also beginning a new chapter at club level.
Fenerbahce recently agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, allowing him to join Ajax on a free transfer.
The Dutch giants officially confirmed his arrival on a deal running until June 2028, bringing the midfielder back to the Netherlands after spells across Italy, England, Turkey and Spain.
Manchester United supporters will remember Amrabat from his 2023/24 loan spell under Erik ten Hag.
He was never an automatic starter at Old Trafford but became increasingly useful late in the campaign, especially when United needed control and aggression in midfield.
His standout moment came in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, when he delivered one of his strongest performances in a United shirt.
Now 30, Amrabat has made another major career call, this time putting his international involvement on hold until circumstances change.
