'A pity Mourinho is Rashford's manager' - De Boer believes Man Utd star's development is hindered

Frank de Boer believes that Jose Mourinho is the wrong manager for Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford.

The 20-year-old forward scored twice in a vibrant display as the Red Devils beat their bitter rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The encounter with the Reds marked Rashford's first start of the year in the Premier League, and he has struggled somewhat to maintain the momentum he gained from his electric start to life at Old Trafford two seasons ago

Rashford scored five goals in 11 Premier League appearances in his breakthrough campaign back 2015-16, and scored the same number the following season, albeit in 32 games

This season, the England international has now scored six times in the league, but he has mostly been used as a substitute.
