Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that Marcus Rashford asked to be subbed in United’s 2-2 draw with Southampton on Saturday.
The England forward picked up a knock towards the end of the fixture and was replaced by Anthony Martial.
In his post-match comments, Mourinho told BT Sport: “Fatigue, [Rashford] was injured, he was asking to come out.
“It was not that kind of injury, some players with that kind of injury do not play for two weeks but Marcus, I am pretty sure he will be fine for the next one.
“But it’s one kick here, one kick there, one fall here, one fall there. Fatigue, lots of running, lots of movement, 75 minutes and he was done and we tried then with Martial replacing him.”
Mourinho praised the young forward adding: “I would say Marcus Rashford was a mad dog until he was very, very tired and with little problems. That appetite, that desire, that fire you have, you need that to recover the ball faster and to recover the ball higher on the pitch.”
