Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim welcomes back Alejandro Garnacho to the squad for tonight’s Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Tottenham.
The winger is on the bench, but Marcus Rashford has been left out of the squad for the second match in a row.

Amorim dropped both forwards for Sunday’s 2-1 win over Manchester City and while he did not say the decision was down to discipline, he appeared to warn the pair over “standards.”
“It's not a disciplinary thing,” he said. “Next week it's a new week, new life. It's how you dress, how you eat and how you interact with your team mates.
“When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards incredibly high.”
Rashford later confirmed was open to leaving the club, albeit Amorim stressed United were a better team with the England forward in it.
Mason Mount is out for United, while Luke Shaw misses out again due to injury. Jonny Evans, though, is back in the squad following a recent absence.
Elsewhere, Amorim appears to have a clean bill of health heading into tonight’s cup tie.
Altay Bayindir starts in goal, while Antony and Christian Eriksen are handed starts in north London.
