England coach Gareth Southgate insists Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho rates Marcus Rashford highly.

Only 34 of Rashford's 70 Premier League appearances under Mourinho have come from the start.

But Southgate defended the United boss and said: "Jose thinks the world of Marcus.

"He's a huge admirer of him, but he has got his job to do. There is huge competition for places at his club so you can understand that.

"I understand the difficulties that club managers have. They have to try and win matches. They have to rotate their squads.

"It's not my business to interfere with club managers. They have a difficult job to do and they have big squads at the top six, with huge competition for places."
