- Striker undergoes medical in preparation for loan move
- Manager describes Martínez injury as a ‘serious situation’
Ruben Amorim denied that Manchester United would be “embarrassed” if Marcus Rashford is loaned to Aston Villa and the forward proves a prolific scorer there.
The head coach spoke after overseeing United’s 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, a seventh home league defeat in their opening 13 games, which matches the club’s poorest-ever start, in the 1893-4 season. The result was made all the worse when Lisandro Martínez was taken off on a stretcher in the second half with Amorim describing the injury as a “serious situation”.
