Rashford saga putting Nacho future in doubt

FORTY-FIVE days ago, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho turned up at Carrington for the footballing equivalent of detention.

Rashford saga putting Nacho future in doubt

While their team-mates were landing a memorable derby day win at the Etihad, Rashford and Garnacho were training on their own, having been banished from Ruben Amorim's squad. Since then, their fortunes have taken a very divergent path.

With the January transfer window entering its final week, Rashford remains out in the cold. He has been spotted just once, as an unused substitute against Newcastle United, and after Amorim's comments on Sunday night, the path bath to the first team for the 27-year-old looks more complicated than ever.

Rashford - aware that the avenues for a January move away are closing - is trying hard to mend bridges, at least publicly. He was at the Rangers game in midweek and posted a message praising his team-mates for winning at Fulham on Sunday. A few minutes later, Amorim gave his most detailed - and cutting - answer so far when pressed on the absence of the academy graduate.

"It's always the same reason. The reasons is the training, the way I see what a footballer should do. In training, in life and it's every day, every detail. So if things don't change, I will not change," said Amorim.
