Manchester United: Ruben Amorim confirms Marcus Rashford set to miss Liverpool clash amid transfer speculation | OneFootball

Rashford has missed training with illness in the build-up to the trip to Anfield

The question of whether Amorim would include Rashford in his squad for this weekend’s huge clash at Anfield has an enforced answer, with illness set to keep hm out.

"It’s the same situation," Amorim said.

"At the moment, he’s ill, he’s not training so we'll see in the future but he's like a normal player, then I make a selection so it's the same.

"I think he's going to be out this week, he's not training. We'll see but I think this week he's out."

United could be 15th in the table by the time their match with Liverpool kicks off on Sunday, and they go into it on a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.

However, Amorim has insisted his side are capable of becoming only the second team to beat Liverpool this season.

"In football, in one game, anything can happen,” Amorim said.

“If you talk about the season, every time the best win. In the moment they are better than us but we can win any game.

"We have to focus not on the context but on the performance, what we have to do is the simple things. We need to improve the simple things to play these kinds of games."
