There is more interesting news surrounding Rashford today though off the pitch. Rashford recently made big international news by literally helping to shape policy in the United Kingdom.

Elsewhere Jose Mourinho hit out at VAR yesterday, showing that he’s truly back to midseason form. The former United manager was not happy about his former club getting calls that he believes they should not have.
“Well, we knew that we could have a penalty against and we were very careful with it,” the Portugese said.
“We know that Manchester United has an incredible record with penalties given this season and we knew that everything in the box was very dangerous for us. We had to be very cautious, we were prepared to block every shot with hands behind the body. We knew that it could happen.”

Mourinho wasn’t done.
“I think in the first penalty the referee Jonathan made this decision, which I admit is difficult for referees,” he then continued.
“Then the VAR is a different story. I think referees can make mistakes but I don’t think VAR should make mistakes. Then the second penalty is incredible for me. It’s a foul on Serge Aurier that should kill the situation.
“Then it’s a situation in the box and I feel when VAR goes for simulation immediately the player should be exposed and get a yellow card. But that didn’t happen. I feel really upset with these two decisions but that’s how it is.”
