Marcus Rashford has been left out of Manchester United's Carabao Cup clash against Tottenham as he edges closer to the Old Trafford exit.
The drama surrounding Marcus Rashford is set to continue after the Manchester United forward was left out of Ruben Amorim's squad for their League Cup quarter-final against Tottenham on Thursday night.
This comes after Rashford announced his desire for a "new challenge" away from United, where he has spent two decades.
Amorim's decision follows the forward's absence from the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The United boss has downplayed Rashford's exclusion, citing it as a simple selection issue.

'He is right' - Man United's coach Amorim acknowledges Rashford’s call for a new challenge
Marcus Rashford's future has been up in flames as he admitted he needs a new challenge after Ruben Amorim dropped him for the Manchester derby.
However, the writing appears to be on the wall for the 27-year-old, who will now miss consecutive crucial games.
His return for the home game against Bournemouth this weekend is also uncertain, and there are reports that United co-owners INEOS are eager to sanction a sale as they look to move his hefty wages off the books.

In his absence, Amorim has utilised Amad Diallo in a more offensive role and the 22-year-old repaid his manager's trust with a blistering performance in the derby on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Tottenham come into this clash on the back of their 5-0 triumph over Premier League strugglers Southampton on Sunday.
Thursday night's clash is one of huge significance for Ange Postecoglou and Amorim as both managers chase a first silverware in England.
