Marcus Rashford set to miss Spurs tie despite Amorim wanting him to stay

Marcus Rashford looks set to miss Manchester United’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur despite the club’s head coach Ruben Amorim saying he wanted the forward to stay at the club.

Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were omitted for the Manchester derby at the weekend but while Garnacho is set to return for Thursday night’s game, Rashford looks like he could miss out after appearing not to have travelled with the squad.

He was not with the rest of the squad as 21 members of Rúben Amorim’s squad boarded the train at Stockport Station to go to London on Wednesday evening. It is not yet clear why he was not with his team-mates but he missed training on Monday through illness.
