Ruben Amorim looking to build on win over Manchester City
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has decisions to make over Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham.
The United boss dropped both forwards for Sunday’s 2-1 win over Manchester City and while he did not say the decision was down to discipline, Amorim appeared to warn the pair over “standards.”
“It's not a disciplinary thing,” Amorim said.
“Next week it's a new week, new life. It's how you dress, how you eat and how you interact with your team mates.
“When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards incredibly high.”
Mason Mount is a doubt for the Red Devils after he limped off during the win over City, while Luke Shaw is expected to miss out due to injury. Jonny Evans could return to the squad following a recent absence.
