Jose Mourinho: Rashford 'goes to the World Cup'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said England manager Gareth Southgate told him Marcus Rashford will be in England's World Cup squad.

Speaking to 5 live Sport, the Portuguese said: "I spoke with Gareth Southgate a few weeks ago and Gareth told me it doesn’t matter if he plays or he doesn’t play.

"He trusts the kid and the kid goes to the World Cup, so he didn’t need to impress Gareth, Gareth knows what he is and Gareth knows that he can give us things at the World Cup."

Rashford scored twice on his recall to the starting XI to give Mourinho's side all three points against Liverpool.
