Rashford left Manchester United in the winter transfer window after falling out of favour with Amorim, who took charge in November.

The England international has joined Aston Villa on loan for the rest of the season, with a view to making the move permanent.

Rashford netted the opening goal of Amorim's tenure at United, in a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town, though the Red Devils boss could just not see eye-to-eye with the 27-year-old.

"I couldn't [get] Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it," Amorim said.

"It's something that you feel as a coach and as a player. It's quite normal. It happened with a lot of coaches.

"The important thing is that I'm here saying that was my decision."

However,todaybet login Amorim is hoping Rashford clicks for Unai Emery at Villa.

"Sometimes you have one player that is really good with one coach, and the same player with another coach is different," the former Sporting CP boss added.
