MARCUS RASHFORD has been told by Ruben Amorim that he must change – or stay in Old Trafford limbo. The Manchester United boss insists his stand-off with the unhappy striker is “not personal.”. But he stresses that no matter what he will not back down after putting the 27-year-old in exile six weeks ago.

Rashford, desperate for a move to Barcelona after saying that he wanted “a new challenge” hasn’t played for 11 games and wasn’t even allowed on the plane to Bucharest for Thursday night's Europa League clash with FCSB. Amorim even suggested he would rather pick his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than any player who wasn’t giving everything in a pointed reference to the home-grown star.

The tough-talking Portuguese has said that Rashford has not been training well enough even for inclusion in his squad – and, he vows, the situation will stay the same until the front man proves him otherwise. But having laid down the law again he also opened the door for Rashford to salvage his United career -but only if he shows he really wants to and toes the line.
He declared : “Look at our team and match the profile of the players. “Imagine a talent like Rashford, our team should be so much better, but he has to change. “If he changes, we will use a talent like Rashford, but in this moment we have to set some standards.
