Man Utd boss Mourinho: Rashford gives us something different

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with super-sub Marcus Rashford after victory at Hull City.

Rashford made his first league appearance of the season when he replaced Juan Mata in the 71st minute and with United looking set for a frustrating draw that would have halted their 100 per cent start in the Premier League, the 18-year-old converted in the second minute of time added on.

Mourinho has clearly been impressed with what he has seen of Rashford so far, but insisted his striker's match-winning goal will make no difference as to how and when he will use him this season.

"He's very good," Mourinho said. "I know that he's very good since last season, but working with him every day I think the same.

"The two matches we were needing a winning goal against Leicester and tonight. He came on and gave us diversity in our football.

"He's different than (Wayne) Rooney, he's different than Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), so everybody is happy with him and we're happy with the squad."
