Marcus Rashford feels 'picked on' at Man Utd and believes Sir Jim Ratcliffe - not Ruben Amorim - is behind his exile as Aston Villa loan nears

According to a source at The Sun, Rashford believes United minority owner Ratcliffe 'wants him out of the club' and has told head coach Amorim to ensure just that. The report adds the 27-year-old feels 'picked on' as the forward was allegedly getting more vocal criticism from the Portuguese boss despite others also struggling to adapt to his new training methods early on in his tenure.

Rashford has not played for United for 12 games now, with reports suggesting his feud with Amorim goes back to when the ex-Sporting CP boss accused him of being lacklustre in training after an alleged night out - something the player's camp denies. The pair are said to not be on speaking terms at a time when the England international is nearing a loan move to Aston Villa.

The report adds Ratcliffe wants Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages off the books as he continues to look to cut costs at the Premier League giants.

It remains to be seen if Rashford will join Villa before the transfer window deadline on Monday night and if he has played his last game for United.
