Man United Jose Mourinho praised Marcus Rashford after his late game-winning goal, and his overall style of play. “I know when you score (in) minute 90-something, you talk of a bit of luck”.
“The important thing is that he is working very well”.
It sets up United for a date with rivals Man City after the global break, live on Sky Sports, while Hull must pick themselves up to face Burnley at Turf Moor.
“They changed the dynamic of the play”, explained Shaw, referring to the introduction of Rashford and Henrikh Mkhitaryan midway through the second half.
