The matter is now resolved after talks with Anthony Martial, according to Ralf Rangnick.
Martial, who has asked to leave United this month, took exception to Rangnick claiming he did not want to be part of the squad for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Villa, and hit back by saying "I will never refuse to play a match for Man United".
The interim manager of Manchester United did not explain why there were two different versions of events, but he did say that it was no longer an issue with the France international available for selection against Brentford on Wednesday.
Anthony Martial denied the claim on his social media accounts.
"I had a personal conversation with him on Sunday about what happened and how I saw the whole situation and the matter is now resolved," said Rangnick, ahead of Wednesday's trip to west London.

Flex told the Early Kick-Off team that the rumors of Anthony Martial not wanting to play this weekend highlight the need to sort his future to avoid more unrest at the club.
He did not train yesterday and the day before that, so I will decide after training if he is selected or not.
The return timetable was set by Rangnick.

The Transfer Talk panel discuss the future of Paul Pogba at Manchester United, with the player yet to sign a new contract with the club.
According to Rangnick, Paul Pogba is expected to return for United at the beginning of February.
The player, who has not played for United since November due to a thigh injury, trained with the squad on Monday.
He made a huge impact on Rangnick, who was glowing in his praise of the 28-year-old.
"Paul had his first day of training with the whole group yesterday", said Ranginick, who also confirmed that both Marcus and Cristiano were likely to be back for the game against the Bees.
He showed what kind of player he can be.
He won't be available for the two games this week, but I think he could be an option after the break when we have the cup game against Middlesbrough and the away game at Burnley.

There are highlights from the Villa's draw with Manchester United.
He is not involved in contract negotiations, so he was unable to give an update on whether any progress had been made regarding the future of the player, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
The interim United boss was optimistic about the impact the France player will have when he's back.
"What I saw in training was very promising for the future, and I am very much looking forward to having him available," said Rangnick.
He will be a serious candidate for the first XI after the international break.
