Man Utd travel to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night and here is the early team news.

Alejandro Garnacho has been included in the Manchester United travelling squad for their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The 20-year-old was omitted from the United matchday squad for their Manchester derby win over Man City last weekend, though head coach Ruben Amorim insisted both he and Marcus Rashford were dropped down to performance issues, rather than any disciplinary matter.

Garnacho looks set to be involved when United face Tottenham in North London on Thursday night, though it has been reported by the Manchester Evening News Rashford was not part of the 22-man squad spotted travelling to the match on Wednesday afternoon.

Earlier in the day, Amorim insisted his preference was for Rashford to remain at the club after the shock revelation he is 'ready for a new challenge' after 20 years with his boyhood club.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the United head coach reiterated both forward's would be made available for selection and that he hoped for a positive reaction from the pair.

"We have one more training," Amorim said. "But it’s the same situation of all the other players. If they train well then I have to make a choice. We will see see at the end of training. Of course [I expect a reaction]. I expect the best of each player every day so we will see after training."
