Ruben Amorim has said Manchester United are “a better team” with Marcus Rashford and that they need to score more goals. The England international has missed 11 straight games since being left out of the team for the victory over Manchester City on December 15.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has told Marcus Rashford he needs to change if he wants to win back his place in the club’s match day squad.

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.

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.

As the transfer deadline approaches, Manchester United seem determined to sign Patrick Dorgu from Lecce. Why has he caught their eye?
