Rashford was added back to Ruben Amorim’s match-day squad for the first time in five games after being left out for the 2-1 derby victory against Manchester City. However, he did not play, even as United suffered their sixth defeat in 11 matches under Amorim, marking their fourth consecutive loss ahead of upcoming games against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Rashford was an unused substitute in last night’s defeat to Newcastle.

He stated: “Personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps. When I leave, it’ll be ‘no hard feelings’. You won’t hear any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s just who I am.”
