Burnley defender Ben Mee: Rashford had his chance, I didn't

Burnley defender Ben Mee holds no grudge against today's opponent Marcus Rashford of Manchester United.

Mee had to leave Manchester City to make it in the game, while Rashford has been able to do similar simply with United.

"He got his chance and I didn't," said Mee to the Daily Mail.

"But you can't look at that. It's one of those, isn't it? It's timing, I guess. For me it was different. I felt I needed to go out and play more and learn the game more, especially with my position as well, being a defender. You do need to learn the game more.

"He had a little bit of luck there, I think. There were a few injuries and then he got his chance. It's about what you do with that chance, isn't it? He has taken it."
