THE BIGGER PICTURE
Rashford is now working under another demanding manager in Hansi Flick after sealing a season-long loan move to Barcelona. The German's teams are known for their intensity, with Rashford already having admitted he's found pre-season "difficult" in Catalunya. The attacker has now been asked about the most influential managers he's worked with and spoke about life under Mourinho at Old Trafford.
WHAT RASHFORD SAID
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast: “Influential? I’d probably say [Louis] Van Gaal, Jose [Mourinho], and Ole [Gunnar Solskjær]. I’ve had so many different managers, so it’s impossible to compare them all. But when you are a developing player, like at a young age, up until Jose, I’d never had a manager so fixated on winning before him.
“[Van Gaal] was fixated on winning, but he wanted to play a beautiful style of football. Jose doesn’t care – if you win, you win. You move on to the next game. At the beginning, I was angry all the time. But because we’ve won, and he’s just a winner, you start to understand him.
"He doesn’t bring up the points that were missing from the last game if we’ve won, but when we lose, he points them out. After a few months, I started to respect that approach, and I reaped the rewards with him as a coach."
