After forcing his way back into the Manchester United starting line-up, Marcus Rashford is ready to do the same at global level as he is set to replace Harry Kane in Sam Allardyce’s next England squad. “If the fans have been disappointed with the last week, I understand completely but I am sure they will be behind the team like they always are”, Mourinho told the club’s official web channel, MUTV, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.
After successive Premier League defeats, Manchester United will hope to re-energise their faltering campaign and make up ground on the early pacesetters with victory at home to champions Leicester City on Saturday. “We will have to wait”, said Guardiola”.
The team was in control from the beginning and the substitutions were just a contribution.
Mourinho waited only 10 minutes in the second half before turning to the bench, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rashford replacing Fosu-Mensah and Depay. “We made a fantastic performance and we won 3-1”, Ranieri said.
Vincent Kompany started for City in his first game of the season after a thigh injury, but left the field seconds after Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled a goal back for Swansea in injury time. “The doctors are speaking with him and seeing what’s up”.
Northampton had gone into the break level after Alex Revell netted from the spot, cancelling out a sumptuous strike from Michael Carrick on his first appearance since the Community Shield. Philippe Coutinho wrecked havoc for the Reds while Erik Lamela was the star man for the London club in their respective sides. Southampton face off against Sunderland.
