'Compulsive lies!' - Mourinho slams critics with amazing Rashford rant

Jose Mourinho has slammed his critics in an astonishing rant centred around the playing time of Marcus Rashford.

The Manchester United striker is suspended for the club's encounter with Watford, after being shown a red card during the Red Devils' win over Burnley.

“Speaking about Marcus, I think I can expect that Sunday I’m going to be highly criticised for not playing him tomorrow, because some of the boys are really obsessed with me and some of them have a problem with some compulsive lies,” said Mourinho.

“So I can expect that Sunday some of them will wake up in the morning and the first thing they think of is Jose Mourinho, so I can imagine on Sunday I am going to be criticised for not playing Marcus but it’s not my fault, he’s suspended, so probably you should remind them he is suspended and cannot play.
