United boss plans to use youngster

Jose Mourinho has admitted that younster Marcus Rashford will have a place in the Manchester United side.

Rashford scored the winner this evening late in stoppage time as United beat newly-promoted Hull 1-0 at the KCOM Stadium.

Rashford’s lively cameo was his first Premier League outing under Mourinho, and the Portuguese coach was impressed with the teenager as he replicated the bold play that had previously helped turn the tide in United’s Community Shield victory over Leicester on August 7.

“In the two matches when we have needed a winner, against Leicester and today, he has done the job,” Mourinho said.

“He’s playing well at 18 but our number one striker is such a good player. We play now with a second man behind Zlatan (Ibrahimovic),” Mourinho continued. “We can start some matches with a player in front of Zlatan.

“The kid is going to play lots of matches, for sure.”

Rashford scored five goals in 11 league appearances in a stunning breakthrough season for United last term.]
