Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Marcus Rashford, says Gareth Southgate
Gareth Southgate is not fretting about Marcus Rashford's recent lack of game time at Manchester United because he believes Jose Mourinho "thinks the world" of the striker.
Rashford has managed just one start and a total of 122 minutes in the Premier League this season, a situation that will not improve in the short term due to a three-game ban for headbutting Burnley's Phil Bardsley.
In contrast, the 20-year-old found himself cast in the starring role for Southgate's England over the past week, scoring both of the team's goals against Spain and Switzerland and looking every inch an international-class forward.
"We really wanted to make Marcus feel important over this period," said Southgate.
"It was important especially to get him in the penalty box and remembering the areas he needs to be scoring goals from.
"His confidence will be boosted I'm sure, with two goals against top-quality opposition."
