Rashford missed training earlier this week due to illness, however, Amorim confirmed he would be in training ahead of the trip to Spurs.<br>Rashford's exclusion from the squad comes after the 27-year-old admitted he was "ready for a new challenge" in an interview with Henry Winter.<br>However, United boss Amorim refused to close the door on Rashford's Old Trafford future and insisted in his pre-match press conference that the team are better with the England international in it.<br>Alejandro Garnacho, who was also dropped for the Manchester derby is with the United squad to face Spurs.<br><i>Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim on if Rashford and Garnacho will play vs Tottenham:</i> <br> <br> "We have one more training but it’s the same as the other players. If they train well, then I have to make a choice. <br> <br> "We’ll see at the end of training - I expect the best of each player every day so we will see after training."<br><em>Sky Sports News' Melissa Reddy</em>:<br>In the absence of a market for Rashford, Amorim has been trying different methods to get a tune out of him. "For so long, for example with Rash, you try a thing, it doesn't work," he said. "Let's continue to do the same thing? Or something different?"<br> Man Utd fixtures <br> Stream Sky Sports on NOW <br> Watch Premier League highlights <br> Get Sky Sports on NOW <br>Being left out of the squad against Manchester City has so far had the desired effect of elevating the player's training standards and attitude.<br>Rashford posted a photograph of United's celebration following Amad's sensational winner with the caption, "Yesssssssss! Love it lads" on social media. It was viewed as a nod to Amorim's comment that everything, including "engagement with team-mates" will be considered when he selects a match-day squad.<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br><em>Football journalist Henry Winter:</em><br>"He made it clear to me that when he said new challenge, it was away from Old Trafford. There's no ambiguity in that. Now it's a question of when rather than if. Whether it would be a loan in January, it would be a complicated deal to do for many reasons but it looks like he's out the door.<br>"The only issue with a move to Saudi is that he's very keen to get back into the England squad and play in the World Cup in America. I don't think Saudi would be right for him. Real Madrid have got Kylian Mbappe, Rashford's not on his level. Barcelona don't have the money. There's Juventus possibly in Italy but it's a complicated deal to do."<br><strong><a href="https://www.nowtv.com/promo/sky-sports?DCMP=ilc_SSNTV_editorial_skysports_strapline_sos_bul" target="_blank">Watch Tottenham vs Man Utd in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, live on Sky Sports; kick-off 8pm.</a></strong><br>Tom from Southampton became a millionaire for free with Super 6!
