Ruben Amorim drops major Manchester United hint at Wolves amid Marcus Rashford exile

Ruben Amorim again changed his Manchester United line-up for their visit to Wolves with Marcus Rashford still getting overlooked. The Red Devils were looking to respond following their humiliating 3-0 home loss at the hands of Bournemouth. That was their third defeat in their last four Premier League games with Amorim looking to arrest the team's slide at Molineux. Rashford's omission has been headline news since he was left out of the Manchester derby earlier. Amorim has continued to leave out the forward, who is being linked with a January transfer window exit amid major questions over whether he'll play for his boyhood club again.
The new United boss went looking for a response and opted to make two changes to his team with Tyrel Malacia and Joshua Zirkzee both dropping to the bench. Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund came into the starting XI. Hojlund, as usual when he appears, led the line, supported by Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes. Yoro is slipped into a back three with Noussair Mazraoui shifting out to a wing-back role with United still getting used to the 3-4-3 formation Amorim has been quick to implement.
The former Sporting Lisbon boss is also continuing to chop and change his frontmen with Zirkzee and Hojlund both getting opportunities to lead the line. Amid Rashford's continued banishment, Amorim's continual changes in the No.9 position hints that the Portuguese isn't sold on either alternative - something that perhaps he will look to solve in January.
