Ruben Amorim gave a brutally honest answer when a reporter asked him about Marcus Rashford’s absence during Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat against Wolves at Molineux. Amorim, 39, saw his side put in a poor performance in the Midlands, which sees them to 14 th in the Premier League, just seven points above the relegation zone.

Ruben Amorim has let slip a vital crumb of information regarding why Marcus Rashford has been frozen out at Manchester United. The misfiring forward has been left out of four consecutive matchday squads by Amorim, who has said little other than Rashford omission is 'his decision' based on what he has seen in training.
