Ruben Amorim has given a forthright and damning evaluation of why Marcus Rashford has not featured for Manchester United since December. The comments came after Rashford was once again not involved in the squad as Manchester United won 1-0 at Fulham on Sunday.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that the club’s striker Marcus Rashford is not close to making a return to his match day squads.

They were lucky to win tonight,” Marco Silva said after Fulham’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United. As spiky as this might sound – although it was nothing compared to Ruben Amorim’s comments around Marcus Rashford – the United manager wasn’t disagreeing.
