Rashford doesn't see football 'way I see it', says Amorim
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes Marcus Rashford was unable to see football "the way I see it" before the unwanted England striker was shipped out of Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old Rashford fell dramatically out of favour with the Portuguese boss and spent seven weeks on the sidelines until he was loaned to Premier League rivals Aston Villa during the transfer window.
"I couldn't put Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it," Amorim said on Thursday.
"And sometimes you have one player that is really good with one coach, and the same player with another coach is different.
"I just wish the best to Rashford and to (Aston Villa coach) Unai Emery, and they can connect because he's a very good player."
Amorim, whose team face Leicester in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, said his focus now is on turning around a wretched season.
"Guys, in the summer... like we said before, we are fighting for our jobs until the summer," he said.
"So, I am just focused on these games. Thankfully about Marcus he is in Birmingham now with Unai, so you can take these questions to another coach. We are just focused on our players at the moment."
