Amorim claims he would rather play 63-year-old goalkeeper coach than Rashford

Ruben Amorim has astonishing attack on Marcus Rashford and said that he would rather play against his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than to the troubled Manchester United star.

Rashford has not appeared in the last eleven games because of the uncertainty about his future at Old Trafford, while the conversations about a move to Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona continue.

Amorim scraped Rashford from his selection for the Manchester derby last month because of his attitude during training, and the United boss confirmed that this is still the reason for the absence of the 27-year-old.

“It's always for the same reason,” Amorim said after United's 1-0 win over Fulham.

'The reason is the training. The way I see what a football player should do on training, in life, every day. If things don't change, I'll not change.

'You see it on the couch today. We needed some speed to change the game and move some pieces, but I'd rather have it that way.

'I will use Vital before I use a player who does not give the maximum. I will not change in that area. “

When asked whether the situation will change if Rashford is still at United next week after the deadline day, Amorim added: 'It is the same situation for every player. If you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player. “

The words of Amorim can put pressure on Rashford to do what he can do to get away from the club from his hometown before the transfer period closes in January – for fear that he will be offside for the rest of the season.

During an impressive interview in December, Rashford revealed that he was 'ready for a new challenge', away from his youth club, after nine years in the first team.

Amorim insists that he does not know whether the attacker will leave in January and Mail Sport understands that the wage of £ 315,000 a week of the players turns out to be a stumbling block in the negotiations with players such as Barcelona and Dortmund.
