Ruben Amorim has claimed that he could not get Marcus Rashford to buy United Plan in his Manchester.
The attacker of England was on loan at Aston Villa on Sunday after almost two decades.

Amorim has not offered any guarantees for a way back for the 27-year-old in the summer.
He said: “I couldn't show Marcus how to play and train – as I see.
“Sometimes you have one player who is really good with one coach – and the same player with another coach is different.
“The most important thing is that I say here it was my decision. The same with Tyrell Malacia and Antony. It was my decision to make these loans.
“I just wish to make Rashford and Unai Emery – and that they can connect because he is a very good player.”
Rashford still stays on United's books.
And if Villa does not take a £ 40 million option to buy it, the couple could be forced together again.

Asked if the door was still open, Amorim added: “As we said before, we fight for our jobs until the summer. So I'm just focused on these games.
“Fortunately, Marcus is now in Birmingham with Unai, so you can bring these questions to another coach. We are simply focused on our players. '
The United Baas admits that he has taken a risk by getting two in the winter window – while he does not bring in any replacements.
He said: “I look at the team and I understood my decision to change everything in the middle of the season without new signing sessions. It is a danger for a coach.
“But since day one, with good results or poor results, I have a clear idea of what I want to do and I take these risks.
“I'm not naive. This is a sport of results and we are in a difficult situation. “
Yet Amorim, who is going against each other with Ruud van Nistorrooy's Leicester in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, believes that he has the support of owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family.
Amorim has lost seven of his 13 Prem games – and United are in 13th place, the same position as when the Portuguese boss arrived.
The former sporting chef said: “I understand it with a lot of losses, especially at home, the environment is really difficult. But I feel the support of the board.
Van Nistelrooy returns to Old Trafford
“I'm not the least worries about that. It is just the pain of losing – that is the most difficult to deal with. “
Amorim showed Van Nistelrooy the door in November, although the four matches of the Dutchman in Interim indictment yielded three wins and a draw.
The legend of Old Trafford van Nistorrooy was an assistant to the dismissed Erik ten Hag and Amorim is not bothered by comparisons with his record.
The United Boss said: “It's not uncomfortable – I think it's normal. He knew the team, he worked with the team.
“I have made a number of decisions that are really difficult to sometimes create problems, friction in the team.
“They were better than I train this team, so I try to help them see the game as I see, to improve performance and results.”
