Marcus Rashford is reportedly training with the main group at Manchester United and there are no major issues between Ruben Amorim and himself.
The United head coach caused a stir when he left Rashford out of the Manchester derby in mid-December and the England international has not played a minute since for the club.
The 27 year old has been linked with a move to a host of European giants including FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
It has also been reported that Amorim wants the player to leave as soon as possible and is pushing for him to find a club before the end of this week.
Nonetheless, there have also been very reliable reports that Amorim and Rashford do not have a serious problem with one another and there may be an avenue back for the United academy product.
Speaking to NBC Sports, reliable journalist David Ornstein has claimed “there is still no concrete development about what is going to happen and it is hanging over United like a black cloud.”
Whilst talks are ongoing about trying to find a resolution, “he is training with the main group at Manchester United and sources close to the player claim that he is fit and available for selection.”
Interestingly, Ornstein also states that the relationship between the coach and player is far from broken.
“There are no issues between him (Rashford) and Ruben Amorim.”
This information corroborates that of The Manchester Evening News, who reported yesterday that Rashford is fit and still wants to play for the club, were Amorim to consider recalling him to the squad.
Ornstein went on to state that while United would “certainly be open to his exit for football and financial reasons” the issue could extend right up until deadline day.
The Athletic reporter stated that while Rashford did not initiate the talk of a move, if he did leave, he would only go to a situation that is right for him and his preference at the moment, would be a move to Barcelona.
Ornstein also claims that “Barcelona can afford to sign him, thanks to the sale of VIP seating at the redeveloped Camp Nou satisfying the requirements of La Liga’s 1:1 rule.”
