Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has been enjoying Christmas dinner with his family amid uncertainty over his future.
Rashford posted a photo on Instagram of him and his family accompanied by the caption: “Family time – Merry Christmas everyone.”
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from United after falling out of favor with Ruben Amorim.
Amorim, who began working as United manager in November, has left Rashford out of his last three matchday squads, against Manchester City, Tottenham and Bournemouth.
In an explosive interview last week, Rashford, who has spent his entire career at United to date, indicated he is ready for a new challenge.
That led Amorim to suggest that it was not Rashford’s decision to give the interview, as he questioned the player’s surroundings.

Amorim suggested Rashford was wrongly advised by his entourage that he wanted to leave
Amorim said: ‘It’s a difficult situation. I understand that these players have a lot of people around them and sometimes they make decisions that are not the player’s first idea. I get it, I can separate things.
‘I’m always here to help Marcus, like any other player. They have to do what they have to do. They chose to do the interview because it’s not just about Marcus. I understand that.’
Speaking to Sky Sports, Amorim added: “As a coach, I only focus on performance and the way he trains. As for the rest, it is better for me and the club to deal with that when the time comes.
‘At the moment I’m concentrating on improving Marcus. We need a talented guy like Marcus right now. “Now I forget about the interview and see what I see on the field.”
Amorim has revealed that Rashford wants to return to action for United, and the manager has said it is his decision to leave him out.
The United boss insisted he knows what he is doing regarding omitting Rashford from the squad.
Amorim said: ‘Yes, it’s my decision. He wants to play. He’s trying. It’s my decision, only my decision.
‘(There is) no situation. When I feel the time is right, I will change something. Until then I will continue to think about what is best for the team.
“I spoke to a lot of players individually during training, so I’m trying to do things my way, and it’s the only way I know. If I don’t do that, I will get lost and I won’t get lost. I know what I’m doing.’
