Ruben Amorim responded to questions after Marcus Rashford said he was ‘ready for a new challenge’, maintaining that Manchester United are better with the forward. Rashford’s comments in an interview with the journalist Henry Winter came following reports that the club are ready to sell the 27-year-old. Rashford had been dropped for United’s 2-1 derby win at Manchester City on Sunday, having struggled for form over the past two seasons. United’s head coach insists he wants Rashford to stay however, saying: ‘This kind of club needs big talent and he’s a big talent, so he just needs to perform at the highest level and that is my focus. I just want to help Marcus.’
