Amorim's United feels like a pencil sketch of a grander planned work - there are signs of progress but huge improvements are needed

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 are close to completing a deal for Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu. United had one bid for the Denmark international turned down last week but have remained in negotiations for the 20-year-old and believe it is a matter of time before he is cleared to have a medical.

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.
