Marcus Rashford's future at Manchester United remains extremely unclear.

The 27-year-old Englishman missed another team match on Sunday, where the "Red Devils" defeated Fulham with a minimal score of 1:0.

After the match, "Man Utd" coach Ruben Amorim again stated that this decision was made due to Rashford's work during training.

The Portuguese even expressed that he would rather include the 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital in the team composition than a player who is not working properly in training.

"The reason for Rashford's absence is always the same. That reason is the work in training. I know how players should work in training. Every detail matters to me."

"If those aspects do not change, neither will my decisions. This applies to all players. Every player is important to us, but he must work to the fullest in training."

"It is clear that today we lacked certain things on the bench that would allow us to change the course of the match. But that is my standpoint. I will include the goalkeeping coach in the team composition rather than a player who is not working properly in training. I can guarantee that I will definitely not change in this regard," said R. Amorim after the victory against Fulham.
