Jose Mourinho: This Manchester United star is having a phenomenal season
JOSE MOURINHO believes Marcus Rashford is having a "phenomenal season" after Manchester United's 2-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford
Rashford opened the scoring as Manchester United battled their way past Chelsea.
The 19-year-old's inclusion stunned fans, with top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic left on the bench.
Rashford has struggled for game time in the centre-forward role with Jose Mourinho often deploying him out wide.
As a result, he has found goals hard to come by.
However Mourinho has praised the teenager and believes he will become a better player after this season.
"He’s always on the pitch – right left and centre," he told Sky Sports.
Marcus Rashford scored in back-to-back games for the first time since September
"This is a phenomenal season for him. He’s not scoring enough goals – even today he missed the first opportunity. He didn’t look confident.
"But he played very well. This season is a great experience for him.”
