The Manchester United head coach has addressed the speculation surrounding his star attacker's future.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has publicly questioned the advisors of Marcus Rashford following the forward's recent comments about seeking a different challenge.

The Englishman was left out of the Red Devils squad to face Manchester City on December 15, and he missed training the following day due to illness.

What Amorim said
Although Amorim has not shut the door on Rashford returning to the group imminently, he believes the 27-year-old has been influenced by those around him.

"It is a hard situation," Amorim told Sky Sports. "I understand that these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player.
"I am always here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do. They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus. I understand that.
"As a coach I focus on performance and the way you train. The rest, it is better for me and the club to deal with that when the time comes.
"At the moment I focus on improving Marcus and we need a talented guy like Marcus. I forget the interview now and see what I see on the pitch.”
What next for Manchester United?
Amorim's team are next in action on Boxing Day when the 13th-placed club travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers
