Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw says that celebrating Marcus Rashford’s last minute victor against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium was the best feeling he has ever had on a football pitch.

The goal helped United win 1-0 and Mourinho maintain his 100 per cent start to the Premier League campaign.
Rashford, who replaced Anthony Martial at KC Stadium, netted in the second minute of added time to seal a 1-0 victory over Hull.
‘It’s not him being a match victor that makes me change my mind, ‘ said Mourinho. When the team was chasing the ball against Leicester in the Community Shield and tonight, he made a difference for us.
“If we are going to be competitive at this level, we definitely need a squad of players that can come off the bench and start for us”.
“He’s different than (Wayne) Rooney, he’s different than Zlatan, so everybody is happy with him”.
Jose Mourinho fears Marouane Fellaini has suffered a “bad” back injury, but maintains the Manchester United midfielder will still join up with the Belgium squad during next week’s global break. “We want to win every game and this game is over now”, Shaw said after the win at Hull.
Do you think Rashford should play more regularly under Mourinho?
“Well, I have the youngest player ever to score a goal in a Champions League final”, he said, as quoted by ESPN.
“The recruitment staff and coaching staff have worked very, very hard and we just need to get those deals done – the sooner, the better”. Mike Phelan, who’s now the Tigers’ caretaker manager, knows the striker very well from their time together at Old Trafford.
“I’m more than happy with that”.
Rashford had hit eight goals in 18 matches for United last season, having broken into the first team in February, and went on to win a place in England’s Euro 2016 squad. We tried and tried and got it.
“I think the adversity that the players have been through has come through, they’ve shown a togetherness and grouped themselves together really well”, Phelan said.
“We frustrated them at times and we contributed to the game by going forward”, said Phelan.

Previous manager Steve Bruce quit over his frustration at the lack of new arrivals following promotion in May as Hull’s owners, the Allam family, continued to work on the sale of the club to a Chinese consortium. We might be down as that is the evolution of the team, but we do not have any more players in the transfer market.
