Rashford, 27, has previously been seen as unsellable at Old Trafford, having risen through the ranks at the club.

The forward has struggled for form over the last 12 months and has only managed four goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season.

He has netted three times in Amorim's four league matches since taking over from Erik ten Hag.

However, it appears that his improved form has not done enough to solidify his spot at the club.

It is also claimed that the club are "open to top offers" during the upcoming January transfer window.

United have concerns over his lifestyle off the pitch.

Last season Rashford was fined £650,000 — two weeks’ wages — and dropped from the FA Cup tie at Newport County after he rang in sick for training after partying in Belfast.

The out-of-favour England international is earning an astonishing £325,000 per week.

He said: "We'll try to find the right solution for him, but he has to be Marcus.

"First of all, we have to try to return to that moment."

This includes impressive striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has scored 25 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions this season.

Defensive midfielder Morten Hjulmand and centre-back Goncalo Inacio would also add some much-needed steel to the team.

Meanwhile, club legend Rio Ferdinand claimed that the hierarchy needs to "get players out" quickly.

Three Sporting stars Amorim could swoop for after joining Man Utd

RUBEN AMORIM has ruled out poaching any of his Sporting Lisbon players in the January transfer window.

But the Portuguese side's chiefs expect Amorim will come calling in the summer - with his cheque book wide open.

Here's are three Sporting starts United could swoop for... but they won't come cheap:

VIKTOR GYOKERES

Age: 26

Position: Striker

Cost: £84million

Hit 43 goals in 50 games last season and boasts 18 strikes already this term.

GONCALO INACIO

Age: 23

Position: Defender

Cost: £50million

Ball-playing centre-back was handed his debut by Amorim and has since become a key figure in Sporting’s recent title successes.

Can also slot in at left-back if required and has 12 caps for Portugal.

MORTEN HJULMAND

Age: 25

Position: Midfield

Cost: £40million

Dane is one of the top holding midfielders in Portugal — and made skipper by Amorim.

He could be the man to replace Casemiro.
