Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim suggests he'd rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach over Marcus Rashford because of effort.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim defended his decision to again omit forward Marcus Rashford from his squad for Sunday's 1-0 win over Fulham, insisting he would rather put a goalkeeper coach on the bench than a player not giving their all.

Ruben Amorim said he would rather have Manchester United’s goalkeeping coach in his squad than Marcus Rashford after appearing to question the 27-year-old’s commitment to the cause. Out-of-favour Rashford has not played for his hometown club since December 12 and appears to be firmly out in the cold under the Portuguese after again not making the squad for their 1-0 win at Fulham.
