Marcus Rashford: ‘Jose Mourinho taught me to be more savvy in the penalty area’

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford says former manager Jose Mourinho made him more “savvy” in the penalty area.

It follows recent debates over United’s penalty count with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suggesting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had won more than his over a far shorter period.

The England striker, 23, said Mourinho changed his attitude in the box.

He added: “Jose said, ‘if you’re not savvy about the way you do it, then you are not going to get given it’.”

Mourinho left United in 2018 after two years in charge, and since Solskjaer’s first league match in December of that year, the side have been awarded the most Premier League penalties (27).
