Jose Mourinho lays down challenge for Gareth Southgate over Marcus Rashford

Jose Mourinho has told England manager Gareth Southgate that a lack of game time should not stop Marcus Rashford from going to the 2018 World Cup this summer. "He's been absolutely brilliant, and we hope we can keep him here for many years to come".

"When he arrived at Old Trafford, he was a bit rocky at the start of his career but the improvement he has made has been unbelievable", Fortune said at the re-opening of the Red Cafe, supported by United's official club coffee partner Melitta. Romero is Manchester United's reserve goalkeeper but is first choice for Argentina.

It's led to reports suggesting England manager Gareth Southgate is growing concerned at the situation. The main reassurance for Marcus is that he's always selected [if available].

"There are many examples of players who don't play for their clubs at all and they go to the national teams".

"If the national coach trusts him, he selects him", Mourinho asserted. "It doesn't matter if he plays or doesn't play", he said.

'At his age, what he's doing is more than enough, and the experience he's getting at every level is more than enough for us to be happy with what we think is going to be his future.

'In your own country, you have examples of players who play even without scoring a goal in the Premier League.

"I don't [verbally] reassure anybody, anyone", Mourinho said, when asked if he'd given words of reassurance to Rashford. If he trusts him, he selects him.

"So even when he doesn't start, to have him on the bench is such a security for me and for the team". With Zlatan Ibrahimovic expected to leave, Rashford may be offered more game time as a stand-in to Romelu Lukaku at centre-forward.

Matic accepts that Manchester United are too far behind Manchester City to fight for the title, but he knows that the side still have the FA Cup and the Champions League to play for.

Rashford was the most exciting name in England's squad at Euro 2016, entering the tournament off the back of his outstanding debut season at United.
