Mourinho tells Rashford to embrace boo boys

The Special One believes the young English striker needs to learn how to cope with dissent from the crowd

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wants Marcus Rashford to learn to enjoy being targeted by opposition fans, insisting it is a compliment.

Rashford was booed as United finished strongly to rout Swansea City 4-0 at Liberty Stadium in Premier League action on Saturday.

The 19-year-old forward – yet to score this season – was a frustrated figure in Wales after he wasted a one-on-one opportunity, while his appeals for free-kicks were often waved away by referee Jonathan Moss.
