Marcus Rashford has been left out of Manchester United's travelling squad for Thursday's Europa League encounter with Romanian side FCSB in Bucharest.

Rashford trained with United at Carrington this morning but head coach Ruben Amorim has opted to leave the 27-year-old out of his 21-man squad.

Rashford has been at the centre of huge speculation about a loan move away from Old Trafford before the transfer window closes on Monday.

It is widely assumed Amorim would prefer Rashford to move elsewhere. The former Sporting coach has never said that specifically; however, he has repeatedly questioned Rashford's attitude and said after Sunday's win at Fulham he would prefer to select his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach rather than choose a player who did not meet his standards.

Rashford's former international team-mate Luke Shaw was also left out by Amorim.

Shaw has only just returned to training following his latest injury setback at the beginning of December.
