Paul Ince makes brutal return admission as Manchester United star nominated for two awards

Here are your Thursday evening Manchester United headlines.

Paul Ince admission

Paul Ince 'is not bothered' about returning to Old Trafford to play Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Ince joined United from West Ham for £1million in 1989 and he went on to enjoy great success at Old Trafford, winning two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, one League Cup and one UEFA Super Cup across his time at the club.

After retiring from football, Ince explored a career in management and he's currently in charge of Championship side Reading, who have drawn his former side United in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday night.

Reading were beaten 4-0 by Stoke last weekend and Ince was asked about playing United in the FA Cup shortly after that loss, which prompted him to suggest the fixture is just 'another distraction' away from the league campaign.

Marcus Rashford nomination

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has been nominated for January's Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards in the Premier League.

The England international has been in scintillating form so far this season and enjoyed a productive January in a red shirt - registering three goals in four top-flight matches this term. Rashford has now scored 18 goals this term, including nine in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old was on target against Bournemouth, Manchester City and Arsenal in the league in January, while also scoring three times in two cup matches. He was also nominated for December's award, along with team-mate Casemiro, but the Reds duo lost out to Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.

Rashford, who was named Premier League Player of the Month in September, is up against Dan Burn, Brennan Johnson, Riyad Mahrez, Solly March, David Raya and Bukayo Saka for this month's award. He is also the reigning Player of the Month at United - beating Casemiro and Luke Shaw in the last round of voting.
