Amorim insists he doesn't hold a grudge against the 27-year-old, but won't bring Rashford in from the cold until he changes his attitude. 'Our team should be so much better with Rashford, but Rashford has to change,' said United's head coach. 'If he changes, we would more than welcome a talent like Rashford – and we need him. We need goals, we need one against one, we need a threat in the final third.

'But in this moment, I think it's really clear we have to set some standards, that's all. We are waiting for Marcus if he wants it really, really bad. That's the only thing. Marcus Rashford has been told he must 'change' if he wants to salvage his Man United career.

Ruben Amorim was asked about Rashford after he left him out of his travelling 21-man squad. 'You try to make it something personal, but it's not personal. It's nothing against Marcus. 'I just have to make the same rules for everybody. That for me is so simple, it's always the same message.
'We are a better team with Marcus Rashford, that is clear. He is a big talent. But until the right moment I will not change my mind.'. Amorim defended his comments after United won at Fulham on Sunday when he said that he would pick his goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than Rashford.
