MARCUS RASHFORD is still exiled from Manchester United by manager Ruben Amorim - despite "WANTING" to play. The forward has been left out of United's last three matches, starting before they beat City 2-1 in the Manchester derby. And Rashford threw his future into doubt by sensationally revealing he is ready "for a new challenge.".

The 27-year-old England international has since been dropped from the squad entirely by his manager. Amorim said: "It's my decision. He wants to play. He is trying. Yes, it's my decision, only my decision. "No, I spoke with a lot of players individually during training so I'm trying to do things my way. And it's the only way I know.

"If I don't do that, I will lose myself and I will not lose myself. I know what I am doing.". Rashford will not play travel to Wolves with United on Boxing Day. And SunSport revealed his team-mates are furious after he revealed plans to try and leave the club.

Rashford could even be loaned out in January to try and resolve the situation. By Martin Lipton. MARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads. But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced - does he care about cash, or about his career?. Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.
That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim - who has now responded to Rashford's comments - was not exactly a surprise. The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.
