Marcus Rashford: Striker ‘must change’ before Manchester United return, says Ruben Amorim

Marcus Rashford “has to change” before returning to action for Manchester United, says head coach Ruben Amorim.

It is seven weeks since Rashford, 27, last featured for his club and the England forward said in December he was “ready for a new challenge”.

Rashford was once again left out of Manchester United’s squad for Thursday’s Europa League encounter against Romanian side FCSB in Bucharest.

“Imagine a talent like Rashford, our team should be so much better with him – but he has to change,” Amorim said on Wednesday.

“If he changes, we are more than welcome [to include him] – and we need it. But in this moment we have to set some standards. We are waiting for Rashford, if he wants it really bad.

“You (the media) want to make it personal, I have nothing against Marcus, but I have to make the same rules for everybody.

“We need goals, we need [players who can go] one against one, we need threat in the final third.”
