Marcus Rashford's Manchester United journey may be coming to an end with a move to Italian giants AC Milan on the cards.
Rashford has been on the periphery at Old Trafford this season, making just 12 starts for the club in 20 Premier League games.
He hasn't featured over the Festive period, missing out on each of the club's last five outings. Amorim referenced Rashford's standards at training when dropping him in mid-December, with the 27-year-old missing every match-day squad since.
“It's how you dress, how you eat and how you interact with your team mates," the Portuguese said after the club's win over Man City on December 15.
“When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards incredibly high.
"Next week if they train well like the others. It's the same for everyone. They will play or be on the bench. It was not a disciplinary thing.
Rashford has remained in exile, generating further speculation of a move by admitting that he is "ready for a new challenge" in the mean-time.
According to Sky Sports Italia, a move to AC Milan could now be an option with a loan-agreement the more plausible development, given Rashford's estimated salary of almost 10 million annually.
Italian journalist reported that contact is expected to take place between United and the Rossoneri in the coming days.
"According to Sky Sport, the channel is open between Manchester United and Milan for Rashford," he tweeted.
"Contacts between clubs are expected in the next few days to delve deeper into the situation. The issue is his salary, but United could be willing to pay part of it and in this case the situation would change."
Meanwhile, Rangers legend Ally McCoist says the diminished power of managers has left Ruben Amorim in a difficult position with the player.
He feels that it would be better for both parties at this stage if the winger leaves Old Trafford.
“When I was playing, the manager was the boss at the club and what he said went," McCoist told the Sunday World.
“Now they all have directors of football and all kinds of different people who the players and their agents deal with.
“The manager’s position within football clubs has been weakened, so it is a lot harder for the guy on the touchline.
“From the outside looking in, you have to say it seems like a parting of the ways would be best for all parties. We all just want to see Marcus Rashford playing with a smile on his face and scoring goals again.
“I’ve not seen that for the last 18 months and it’s criminal for a boy of that age not to be enjoying playing football because it should be the best job in the world," added McCoist.
