Man Utd boss Mourinho: International goals important for Lukaku, Rashford

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is happy Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford both scored during international week.

Mourinho says it's important for both strikers' self-belief.

He admitted: “Strikers sometimes do amazing work for the team, but when they don't score goals, that ego is not fed so they need their goals now and again. "

“They don't need to be on a goals diet for a long time! In Romelu's case, he's already scoring for us and went to the national team and scored two goals."

"For Marcus, after the red card and the disappointment of the suspension, to go with England and score in both matches is also a good feeling for him."
