Ruben Amorim has said Manchester United are “a better team” with Marcus Rashford and that they need to score more goals. The England international has missed 11 straight games since being left out of the team for the victory over Manchester City on December 15.

Ruben Amorim appears to have offered a lifeline to Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford ahead of the transfer deadline. Rashford has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford in January after being frozen out by Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag in November.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has shown that he can be ruthless towards some of his squad, including Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has told Marcus Rashford he needs to change if he wants to win back his place in the club’s match day squad.

Ruben Amorim revealed that Kobbie Mainoo’s defensive struggles prompted his more advanced role in Manchester United’s Europa League win over FCSB. United made if four wins in four under Amorim in Europe as they cruised to a 2-0 win against their Romanian opposition to secure a top-eight finish and book their spot in the last 16.
