Ruben Amorim took charge of Manchester United last November and one of his first major decisions involved star forward Marcus Rashford.
The United boss ended up freezing Rashford out of the team until the January transfer window, where he was loaned to Aston Villa.
Despite scoring four goals in the early weeks under Amorim, the United forward departed due to various factors, including an interview he conducted where he said he’d be open to a new challenge.
Amorim would continuously say that the decision to leave Rashford out of the team was due to training performances.
Ratcliffe backs Amorim over Rashford decision
United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has conducted an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap this week where he discussed his first year in charge of the club.
In that interview, Neville asked the United co-owner whether he backed Amorim’s decision to send players like Rashford on loan in January.
“Correct, I do,” responded Ratcliffe. “I think he’s doing the right thing with the players.
“He has to be in charge of the dressing room. He has got a set of principles and he wants the players to abide by his set of principles which is that you have to be totally and utterly commited to winning the next football match, that’s what he wants.
“If you abide by those principles, you potentially have a seat in the dressing room.”
