Rashford insists he didn't dive as Mourinho backs teenage Man Utd striker

Former United players Gary Neville and Michael Owen offered their support following controversial penalty incident in the draw with Swansea

Marcus Rashford told Jose Mourinho he did not dive to win a penalty during Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Swansea City.

United were awarded a spot-kick in added time at the end of the first half of Sunday’s game at Old Trafford after Rashford went to ground following a challenge from Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

However, television replays suggested that the England international was already on his way down before Fabianski made contact and the incident drew fierce criticism from Swansea head coach Paul Clement.
