Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim expressed his desire for Marcus Rashford to remain at the club, despite Rashford indicating he is ready for a new challenge. Rashford made these comments after being excluded from the squad that triumphed over Manchester City. Amorim has not yet discussed these remarks with Rashford, as Tuesday was a day off for the players. He emphasized his focus on helping Rashford perform at his best and highlighted the importance of Rashford's talent for the team. The coach also mentioned that Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho could rejoin the squad for the upcoming match against Tottenham if they perform well in training. Rashford, who has struggled to replicate his previous season's form, has a contract with United until June 2028.
