Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly left Marcus Rashford out of the squad for Thursday’s trip to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Alejandro Garnacho, however, could return.
The United boss dropped both forwards for Sunday’s 2-1 win over Manchester City and while he did not say the decision was down to discipline, Amorim appeared to warn the pair over “standards.”
“It's not a disciplinary thing,” Amorim said.
“Next week it's a new week, new life. It's how you dress, how you eat and how you interact with your team mates.
“When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards incredibly high.”
Rashford later confirmed was open to leaving the club, albeit Amorim stressed United were a better team with the England forward in it.
Mason Mount is out for the Red Devils, while Luke Shaw is expected to miss out due to injury. Jonny Evans could return to the squad following a recent absence.
Elsewhere, Amorim appears to have a clean bill of health heading into Wednesday’s game.
Man Utd predicted XI: Onana; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes
Injured: Shaw, Mount
Time and date: 8pm GMT on Thursday 19 December 2024
