Wantaway Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been told he has a future at the club by head coach Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says the club is “better” with Marcus Rashford and promises he is ready to “help” the forward who was quoted as saying he was ready for a new challenge.
The 27-year-old was dropped from United’s squad for the 2-1 win at Manchester City on Sunday. Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, 20, was also not part of the squad for the Premier League clash, with new boss Amorim later saying his decisions were all about holding his players to high standards.
It has led to widespread speculation about his future and Rashford discussed the possibility of leaving in an interview on Tuesday.
“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” he told journalist Henry Winter on Tuesday. “When I leave, it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’.”
Amorim was diplomatic when asked on Wednesday if he wanted to keep Rashford at the club. “Of course, because this kind of club needs big talents and he’s a big talent,” he told a news conference. “So, he just needs to perform at the highest level and that is my focus. I just want to help Marcus.
