Jose ‘enjoyed Rashford failure’ – pundit on ‘disgusting’ boss
Jose Mourinho’s treatment of Marcus Rashford after Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton was “disgusting”.
Jermaine Jenas believes that Mourinho was wrong to use Romelu Lukaku to prove a point to Rashford and Anthony Martial after Brighton beat the Red Devils 1-0 earlier this month.
After the game, Mourinho said that the performance and result gave a response to those who ask him: “Why always Lukaku?”
Jenas feels that using Rashford to prove a point was “disgusting”.
“I found what he did after that Brighton game disgusting to be honest with you,” Jenas told BBC Radio 5 live.
“When you are managing a young player like Marcus Rashford, the thing that I really didn’t like about it was for him to come out as publicly as he did at that time.
“The comments about Lukaku were a direct shot at Rashford. Now, it was almost like he enjoyed the failure of Rashford.
“It gave him the opportunity to say shut up, I am right and you’re wrong and that is not a point you should be using on a young player.”
