Ruben Amorim has admitted Manchester United need a player like Marcus Rashford but says the forward “has to change” and meet his standards to have a future with the club. Seven weeks have passed since Rashford last played for the Red Devils and his wait continues.

Rio Ferdinand has said there is "no way back" for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United after his commitment to the team was questioned by manager Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement with Lecce for the transfer of Patrick Dorgu for €30million (£25.2m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. The Serie A side had been holding out for €40m (£33.6m) but negotiations have brought the figure to below United’s aim of a total £30m package with the add-ons a split of both simple bonuses and others that are more difficult to achieve.

Manchester United are continuing to work on a deal for Patrick Dorgu before the transfer deadline, sources have told ESPN.
