5 players dreading Jose Mourinho’s arrival at Manchester United

#5 Marcus Rashford

Rashford was a ray of hope for Manchester United in the Premier League

Marcus Rashford has made his mark on the senior squad this season after being promoted from the youth set up due to a deluge of injuries in the first team. He has scored 8 goals in 18 appearances for the club and has kept out the likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial from their favoured striker position.

While Rashford was given ample opportunity to perform under Louis van Gaal, it is not likely he will be afforded similar chances with Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese prefers to have experienced strikers. Diego Costa was in fact his youngest striker at Chelsea, aged 25 and this is not a good sign for Marcus Rashford, who has just earned his first England call-up.

Mourinho does not have a reputation of developing young players, preferring to rely on experienced stars to carry out his instructions and Rashford will be hoping he can impress Mourinho despite the odds.
