Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has said Marcus Rashford and Casemiro were free to do what they wanted during the international break.

Former United captain Gary Neville criticised the pair’s trip after Rashford was photographed watching an NBA game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden.

The Brazilian posted pictures of himself and his family at Disney World on social media platform Instagram.

However, Neville wrongly suggested Rashford had flown via Portland. Neither player travelled via the city and he has now apologised while asking the new Man United boss for his opinion.

“I have to ask you this because I had made a comment this week about Casemiro and Marcus Rashford travelling to America in their few days off,” Neville said on Sky Sports.

“I did get it wrong. They went to New York rather than Portland, so I apologise for that, but it’s still five or six hours’ time difference. They are on planes. Are you comfortable with that?”

“I think the main question here is, as the club, we have to set the standards, and we have to manage that,” Amorim replied.
