Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim gave mixed messages over his decision to leave Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of his squad for Sunday's Manchester derby but insisted there were no disciplinary issues.

Rashford played 56 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 Europa League comeback win against Viktoria Plzen, where Garnacho was introduced as a late substitute.
