Ruben Amorim has suggested that Marcus Rashford's latest omission from the Manchester United squad was because the England international hasn't changed since his initial dropping.

Rashford has not featured in a matchday squad since Dec. 12 in the UEFA Europa League against Viktoria Plzen, and he has since conducted an interview in which he said he was ready for a new challenge after spending his entire professional career at United.

Amorim has repeatedly insisted that the England international's absence from the team is not down to his request to move on but a result of his performances.

Rashford's exile entered its fifth game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday and afterwards, Amorim said: "It's always the same reason it's going to be.

"We have to be the same professionals, the same guys, winning or losing. Losing, I have to be stronger. I will continue with my idea until the end."

Asked if Rashford had shown anything difference since he was left out, Amorim replied: "If he's not here, you can make your mind up."

United fell to a 2-0 defeat against Wolves, dropping them to 14th in the Premier League.

After Bruno Fernandes was sent off, Matheus Cunha scored from a corner before Hwang Hee-Chan's late second.
