Marcus Rashford has seemingly been left out of Manchester United’s travelling squad for Sunday’s FA Cup clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The 27-year-old England international was notably absent as the team departed from Stockport train station for London on Saturday afternoon.
The snub comes despite manager Ruben Amorim’s recent confirmation that Rashford had recovered from illness and was available for selection.
His absence from the crucial FA Cup fixture has intensified speculation about his future at Old Trafford, with the forward having publicly expressed interest in seeking a new challenge.
