Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has questioned Marcus Rashford's team after the forward recently admitted that he could leave the club in the near future.
Rashford revealed in a recent interview with Henry Winter that he was "ready for a new challenge and the next steps" in his career, hinting that he is heading towards the exit door at Old Trafford.
The Man United academy product made the surprising remarks after being left out of Amorim's squad for the 2-1 win over Manchester City.
Rashford has since failed to make the matchday squad for Man United's last two games against Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth.

Amorim questions Rashford's team
Amorim has now questioned whether Rashford's representatives were behind the decision to conduct the bombshell interview.
"It is a hard situation," Amorim told Sky Sports. "I understand that these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player.
"I am always here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do. They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus. I understand that.
"As a coach, I just focus on performance and the way he trains. The rest, it is better for me and the club to deal with that when the time comes.
"At the moment I focus on improving Marcus. We need a talented guy like Marcus in this moment. I forget the interview now and see what I see on the pitch."
