Marcus Rashford has not abandoned all hope of playing for Manchester United.
Rashford has not featured for United since being substituted in the Europa League victory over Viktoria Plzen on 12 December, after which his training performances were called into question by head coach Ruben Amorim.
The 27-year-old has been on the bench once in the intervening period, when he was an unused substitute in the 3-0 home defeat by Newcastle on 30 December.
Asked about Rashford in the wake of Sunday's 3-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford, Amorim said "it's his choice", which led to speculation Rashford had asked not to be considered.
