MANCHESTER UNITED ace Alejandro Garnacho has been recalled to the squad that will face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup after being omitted from the derby with Manchester City. However, there is still no sign of Marcus Rashford, who was also left out of Sunday's Manchester derby at the Etihad by United manager Ruben Amorim.
Garnacho, 20, had a snood pulled over his mouth and wore a black beanie hat before the trip to north London and Thursday's quarter-final clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A lot of the Red Devils' players travelled to Stockport train station by coach after gathering at the airport car park.
However, Rashford, 27, was unaccounted for at the Manchester giants' rendezvous point. Nevertheless,, Amorim and some other players drove straight to the station. This comes after the England international strongly suggested he will leave Man Utd after declaring he is ready for a "new challenge".
The forward also reported unwell for training on Monday, while Amorim gave the players Tuesday off. Nevertheless, the Portuguese tactician confirmed that both Garnacho and Rashford would be in contention to return to the squad against Tottenham. Amorim said: "If they train well then I have to make a choice. We will see see at the end of training.
"Of course [I expect a reaction]. I expect the best of each player every day so we will see after training.". Amorim was quite vague when explaining Garnacho and Rashford's omission from the 2-1 victory against City but insisted it wasn't due to a disciplinary matter.
