Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has admitted he “doesn’t know” if Marcus Rashford will ever play for the club again.
Rashford has not played for United for more than a month he once again failed to make the matchday squad for Sunday’s FA Cup win over Arsenaldespite Amorim confirming that he is over the illness that kept him out of the previous game against Liverpool.
Amorim stressed that the door is not closed to Rashford, but admitted after the win over Arsenal that he has no idea whether the 27-year-old still has a future at Old Trafford.
“I don’t know,” Amorim said. “We’ll see. He’s a player for Manchester United. We’ll see. He has to work.
“He has to represent his club and he loves his club, but I have to make decisions. I’ve already talked about how I make decisions. That’s right. Let’s go on, see the next game and like I said, I have to make a selection.”
Rashford is believed to be available for a transfer this month, but the high cost of such a deal has prompted his many suitors to look for a loan move. United are understood to be open to a temporary switch.
There is interest from the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United named as suitors, but the most significant interest comes from continental Europe. AC Milan are among the leading candidates, and club official Zlatan Ibrahimović, Rashford’s former teammate at United, has publicly discussed his side’s interest in the deal.
However, it is believed that Rashford’s priority is to move to Barcelonawho recently were indicated that they would make an agreement after they released the required salary.
