'Rashford is in love with football' - Mourinho hails Man Utd match-winner

The 19-year-old's free-kick winner against Celta came as a result of extra practice on the training ground, the manager has revealed

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho described Marcus Rashford as "a kid who is in love with football" after his superb free-kick saw off Celta Vigo.

The 19-year-old fooled Celta goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez with a second-half set-piece to ensure United take an away goal and 1-0 lead back to Old Trafford for next Thursday's second leg of the Europa League semi-final.

Rashford has scored four times in under a month including a dramatic extra-time winner against Anderlecht in the quarter-finals, his form coming at a vital time with Zlatan Ibrahimovic out injured.
