Plymouth Argyle have accepted a bid for Morgan Whittaker following his recent absence from the team. Manager Miron Muslic publicly expressed his frustration with Whittaker, stating that the winger was selected for the match against Burnley but chose not to play. This incident has further fueled speculation about Whittaker's future at the club.
Plymouth have accepted a bid for Morgan Whittaker days after manager Miron Muslic claimed he 'didn't show up'. Whittaker's absence from the starting XI of the 5-0 home defeat to Burnley raised further speculation over his future at the club. Whittaker has scored 33 goals in 103 appearances for Plymouth since his £1million plus add-ons move from Swansea City in 2023, which made him their record signing.
However, head coach Muslic has revealed that the winger was in his plans to play against Burnley but Whittaker decided not to play. \'We need players who really want to play for Argyle so we can always come to them when we need players, who are ready to give everything,' he said after the defeat. 'I know he’s a target and linked with transfers,” he added, before saying: “He was available today, he was in the selection and he wasn’t there. 'So, it’s what I said again, we need to change this mentality, we need to change the locker room, we need to get characters inside with the desire to face this challenge and to give it all, that’s our only way and our only chance.”\Adam takes controversial Premier League job a month after Fleetwood sacking'Morgan is an Argyle player under contract here as long as nobody has paid the money we as an organisation demand, to pay his value. 'He’s an Argyle player and he has responsibilities and obligations to Argyle and like I said, that’s one of the reasons why Argyle is struggling for the last months.“Morgan didn’t show up, he was in the selection,' Muslic insisted, before adding: 'We had a game today, he was in the selection, he wasn’t there, and that’s everything I have to say on Morgan.” Promotion-chasing Burnley scored their first goal of the evening on 11 minutes through Zian Flemming. He netted his second shortly after the half-hour mark before Josh Laurent netted two goals for himself on the approach to half-time.Plymouth have suffered a 15th Championship defeat of the season and remain bottom of the table on 21 points and six behind safety.
