Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has been left out of the squad for their Boxing Day Premier League fixture against Wolves. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This marks the fourth consecutive game the 27-year-old forward has missed, following absences in matches against Manchester City<\/a>, Tottenham, and Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Manager Ruben Amorim<\/a> has consistently attributed Rashford\u2019s exclusion to “selection” decisions, dismissing any speculation of disciplinary issues.<\/p>\n

The England international recently sparked speculation by hinting at a desire for a “new challenge,” signalling a potential future departure after two decades with his boyhood club.<\/p>\n

While Rashford\u2019s absence raises questions, United fans were offered a glimmer of positivity as Matthijs de Ligt was spotted arriving at Molineux.<\/p>\n

The Dutch defender missed the last two matches due to illness but had been a mainstay in Amorim\u2019s lineup before the Tottenham defeat in the Carabao Cup<\/a>. However, he was only named on the bench for the Wolves clash.<\/p>\n

United go into the match aiming to rebound from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Bournemouth last weekend.<\/p>\n

The defeat compounded a difficult stretch for Amorim\u2019s side, who have now lost back-to-back matches after their impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the derby earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Wolves could pose a stern challenge for United, who need to regain momentum as they navigate a demanding festive fixture schedule.<\/p>\n

Rashford\u2019s continued absence and the team\u2019s inconsistent form leave fans eager to see how Amorim\u2019s lineup will perform under pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
