Amorim added: “It's always the same reason.

He stressed: "It's my decision. He wants to play. He is trying. Yes, it's my decision, only my decision.
"No, I spoke with a lot of players individually during training so I'm trying to do things my way. And it's the only way I know.
"If I don't do that, I will lose myself and I will not lose myself. I know what I am doing."
Rashford appears to be accepting he might have to move on to rejuvenate his career.
He told journalist Henry Winter: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps."
But he stressed: "When I leave it's going to be ‘no hard feelings’.
"You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.
"If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse.
