Ruben Amorim felt Marcus Rashford was unable to adapt to the way he wanted to play and train after taking the decision to let the homegrown Manchester United forward leave Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old played in the Portuguese’s first six matches but was dropped for the Manchester derby in mid-December, after which the England international revealed he was ready for a new challenge.
