Before the game, Amorim briefly commented on this unexpected decision.
Quote: "I informed Garnacho and Rashford of my decision via WhatsApp. After the final training session, as always, we communicated.
They’re fine. They trained this morning, and I was there too. They trained very well!" Amorim told Sky Sports.
Reminder: The match at Etihad Stadium kicks off at 17:30 CET.
