Wantaway star Rashford has attracted interest during the January transfer window after expressing his desire to depart Old Trafford in December. After he was left out of the matchday squad to face Manchester City, Rashford told journalist Henry Winter that he was "ready for a new challenge and the next steps" - hinting at a move away.

Ruben Amorim appears to have offered a lifeline to Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford ahead of the transfer deadline. ‘The situation is the same for every player,’ Amorim said ahead of United’s Europa League clash against Steaua Bucuresti on Thursday evening.
