Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim indicates he still wants more from Marcus Rashford

Ruben Amorim indicated Marcus Rashford is still not doing enough for his liking after leaving the forward out of Manchester United’s squad for a fourth straight game.

The 27-year-old has not appeared for the Red Devils since being taken off early in the second half of the Europa League comeback win at Viktoria Plzen on December 12.

Rashford was left out of the following game at Manchester City, after which he revealed he was “ready for a new challenge”, and was then omitted from the Tottenham and Bournemouth defeats.

The Boxing Day trip to Wolves extended that losing run to a third match and Amorim suggested he still wanted more from the absent England international.

“It’s always the same reason it’s going to be,” the United head coach said after the 2-0 loss at Molineux.

“We have to be the same professionals and I have to be the same guy, winning or losing.

“Losing, I have to be stronger, so I will continue with my idea until the end.”

Asked if Rashford had not been showing him anything different since being left out, Amorim told Amazon Prime: “If he’s not here, you can make your mind (up).”
