'Same situation' - Manchester United issue Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho selection update

Ruben Amorim insists every Manchester United player has a fresh chance to be involved when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were both omitted from the United squad for their derby win over Man City at the weekend, but could both be involved when they are in quarter-final action later this week.

Amorim is adamant the attacking duo were only dropped from the last squad due to performance reasons rather than any disciplinary issue and says a final decision on their involvement will come after their final pre-match training session on Wednesday morning.

"We have one more training, but it’s the same situation of all the other players," he told reporters at his latest press conference. "If they train well then I have to make a choice. We will see see at the end of training. Of course, I expect the best of each player every day so we will see after training.”

There is fresh speculation over Rashford's involvement in the match after he dropped the bombshell revelation he is 'ready for a new challenge' in his career after two decades with his boyhood club.

It would be quite the twist if he was involved for United against Tottenham tomorrow night and Amorim insists the forward's recent comments won't impact his selection for the Carabao Cup tie.

He added: "This is in the future, my focus is to have all the players in the best that they can be to prepare for each game. There is no if at this kind of club, it is just Tottenham and let’s focus on this game."
