Mourinho promises more chances for matchwinner Rashford

Mourinho claimed that the 18-year-old forward would develop better if he played full games for the country’s Under-21 side rather than getting a couple of minutes off the bench for the senior side in their World Cup qualifiers.

He has just given Mourinho some thinking to do.

Rashford struck a 92nd-minute victor, having replaced Juan Mata 20 minutes earlier, as United broke Hull’s resolve to extend Mourinho’s winning start at United.

Rashford ended up making 18 appearances last season with all of them being in the starting XI.

“We have to sit down at some time or other and with the break coming up it seems a good time to do that”, he said in his post-match media conference. “He can play (or) he can be on the bench”.

“We were so intense in our attacking ways, I always believed the goal would arrive”.

The game victor came within the final minutes of injury time, propelling the Red Devils to a 1-0 victory over the Tigers at Hull City.

First-half goals from Santi Cazorla, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil gave Arsenal a 3-1 win at Watford to ease the pressure on long-serving manager Arsene Wenger. Sometimes it’s hard not to get carried away because he’s such a talented player but we need to try to guide him and let him focus on football’.

“When the team were chasing the victor against Leicester in the Community Shield and again tonight, he made a difference for us”.

“We want to win every game and this game is over now”, Shaw said.

Chelsea had it much easier against another promoted side.

Do you think Rashford should play more regularly under Mourinho?

Champions Leicester got back to winning ways after Jamie Vardy’s trademark strike and Wes Morgan’s second-half effort downed Swansea City 2-1 at a rain-swept King Power Stadium.

Santi Cazorla’s penalty put the Gunners in front after nine minutes with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Oezil adding goals before half-time.

Tottenham and Liverpool are two more teams hoping to be in the mix for the top four, perhaps even the title, and they drew 1-1 in a frenetic match at White Hart Lane.
