• Striker believed still to be keen to give his best for club
• United manager had said forward had ruled himself out

Marcus Rashford is ready and available to play for Manchester United, the Guardian understands, after Ruben Amorim indicated the forward had ruled himself out of contention for the defeat by Brighton on Sunday.

Rashford has not played for United since 12 December and declared five days later that he was “ready for a new challenge” after being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby.
