Ruben Amorim has said Marcus Rashford had to leave Manchester United because he couldn't get the forward to buy into his ideas.

Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to not keep Ruud van Nistelrooy as part of his coaching staff at Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy was initially brought in as part of Erik ten Hag ’s coaching team last the summer but following the Dutchman’s sacking he was asked to step in as interim manager.

Ruben Amorim opted against keeping Ruud van Nistelrooy as he was joined by six backroom staff members at Man United.

Ruben Amorim revealed Marcus Rashford was not on the same page after the exiled Manchester United forward completed his loan move to Aston Villa.

Ruben Amorim says he could not get his message across to Marcus Rashford, feeling that he was not grasping his ideas in the pitch or in training. The relationship between Amorim and Rashford quickly fell apart after the Portuguese arrived as Red Devils boss and the England international was ousted from the first team.
