'Maybe it's better to have holidays in Barbados!' - Mourinho fires back at TV pundits over reaction to Rashford miss

Jose Mourinho has hit back at pundits who criticised his reaction to Marcus Rashford's missed chance against Young Boys on Tuesday.

The Manchester United manager turned to the crowd and shook his head after the 21-year-old passed up an opportunity early on in the Champions League clash at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese's reaction sparked criticism from Gary Lineker, who tweeted : “Turn to the crowd and your own bench and shake your head in disgust at one of your own players, let alone a youngster. You just don’t do that as a coach."

But Mourinho says his reaction was not aimed just at the 21-year-old forward, as he grew frustrated with his team until Marouane Fellaini scored an injury-time winner.
