Reds boss should look to the Etihad to see how to deal with wantaways...

UNITED should be riding high after their derby win at the Etihad Stadium.

- JOE BRAY

As City's crisis deepens, the Reds have a springboard to kick on under new boss Ruben Amorim, who was justified in his eye-catching prematch decision to leave Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of his derby day squad.

Now, Rashford has hit back by talking about 'when' he leaves United and being open to a new challenge. It seems like the City omission was the final straw for him. Amorim has responded by leaving the door open for his number ten, navigating the difficult situation diplomatically in public at least.

Amorim may not be looking to Pep Guardiola for any tactical advice at the moment, especially with two wins over City in his last nine games. But he will perhaps look over to the Etihad for how to deal with a high profile player wanting to leave.
