MANCHESTER: Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has once again been left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad, this time for the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.
After being dropped during the 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, the highest-paid player at Old Trafford was also not listed for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Rashford announced on Monday that he was ready for a new challenge outside United after two decades with the club, a day after being sidelined for the Manchester derby.
Alejandro Garnacho, who was also left out of Amorim’s squad for the visit to the Etihad, returned with the team for the League Cup action to fight for the final place in the semi-finals.
Garnacho just won the Puskas award for his acrobatic goal against Everton at Goodison Park last season.
Amad Diallo, who scored the winner on Sunday, will be joined by Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Manuel Ugarte and Antony for the Carabao Cup meeting at Tottenham.
The 22-year-old winger sparked United’s comeback at the Etihad by winning a penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes in the 88th minute before scoring two minutes later.
Amorim has not yet closed the door on Rashford and wants to keep him at Old Trafford, but the club are ready to let him go for around 40 million pounds.
Spurs await United after recording a 5-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou’s side ended a five-match winless streak with a positive result at St Mary’s.
