Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It means Rashford, who is on a reported \u00a3325,000 per week, is in line to feature for Michael Carrick&#8217;s side next season and could be part of the United squad that takes on Leeds United in Dublin in pre-season.<\/p>\n<p
