Man Utd midfielder Pogba: Rashford told me he was going to score

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has revealed Marcus Rashford was always confident of scoring his winner a Celta Vigo last night.

The 19-year-old forward stepped up to curl his second-half free-kick into the back of the net and score a crucial away goal for Jose Mourinho's silverware-chasing side.

Speaking to BT Sport after the game, Pogba said: "On the pitch, we don't look at the age. He's been doing great this season and we trust him.

"When he took that free-kick, he told me he was going to score and he put it in so that's the most important thing.

"We had a lot of chances, it's happened a lot of times this season, but we have to carry on working on it and keep creating chances."
