Ruben Amorim has explained Marcus Rashford's absence after the wantaway forward was left out of Manchester United's squad for Sunday's trip to rivals Liverpool.
Rashford, 27, was axed from four matchday squads by Ruben Amorim before returning to the bench for the 2-0 defeat by Newcastle in the final game of last year, and was again missing for the visit to Anfield.
Much has been made of the Englishman's current situation after Rashford indicated his desire to leave the club in the wake of being dropped for the Manchester derby.
United are willing to let the club's highest-earner leave in the January transfer window after he publicly stated he wants a 'new challenge' and AC Milan have signalled interest in striking a loan move.
