Marc my words

Marcus Rashford issued a five-word message after Ruben Amorim said he'd rather play his goalkeeper coach against Fulham.

The England international refused to get drawn into a war of words with his new manager as he continues to seek an Old Trafford exit.

Taking to Instagram after Manchester United's 1-0 win at Craven Cottage, Rashford wrote: "Congratulations on the win, lads."

Rube Awakening

Ruben Amorim suggested he'd pick Manchester United's 63-year-old goalkeeping coach ahead of Marcus Rashford.

The Red Devils got back to winning ways in the Premier League by edging out Fulham 1-0 in an uninspiring clash at Craven Cottage.

It was the seventh time in the last eight Premier League matches Rashford wasn't selected by Amorim.

Amorim admitted that Man United's performance lacked the pace Rashford possesses in abundance, but added that he'd rather select his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than any player who wasn't willing to pull their weight.

When asked about Rashford's absence, Amorim said: "It's always the same reason. The reasons is the training, the way I see what a footballer should do. In training, in life and it's every day, every detail. So if things don't change, I will not change.

"It's the same situation for every player. If you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player."

"And you can see it today on the bench - we miss a little bit of pace to go, to change the game, to move some pieces but I prefer like that.

"I will put Vital before I put a player that don't give the maximum every day so I will not change in that."

Evan Almighty

TalkSPORT's chief football correspondent Alex Crook has delivered the latest news surrounding the future of Evan Ferguson.

Brighton's out-of-favour Irishman is Graham Potter's first choice for the striker's berth at West Ham, talkSPORT understands.

The pair previously worked together during Potter's time at the Seagulls and that is why the Hammers believe they have the edge.

However, West Ham face competition from as many as half a dozen clubs, which could even include Arsenal.

The Gunners are on the hunt for extra firepower and might consider a loan deal.

Bournemouth have also made an inquiry, with Everton among the other clubs keeping tabs on the 20-year-old.

Brighton will leave Ferguson's future until late in the window, with Danny Welbeck's injury history a factor in sanctioning any exit.

Ferguson himself has been struggling with an ankle problem and has scored just one goal in 12 Premier League outings this season.

Stand by his Poste

Tottenham's stance on Ange Postecoglou hasn't changed, talkSPORT understands.

It is understood the club's board remain behind the embattled Australian despite a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Sunday.

However, should Tottenham change their minds, assistant coach Ryan Mason stepping up as the interim boss remains a strong possibility.

The defeat to Leicester was Tottenham's 13th loss in the league this season and left the north London outfit languishing in 15th, one point and place ahead of Everton.
