Mourinho, however, has hit back, reeling off a string of stats to prove that the striker has had his fair share of playing time at Old Trafford.
"In 2016-17, Marcus Rashford played 32 Premier League matches, 11 Europa League matches, including the final, three FA Cup matches, six League Cup matches and the Community Shield," Mourinho said. "He had 53 appearances but if you want to take to the minutes of play, he played 3,068 and if you want to divide that by 90-minute matches, he played 34.2 matches of 90 minute matches in 16-17."So with me, in two seasons, he had 105 appearances, 5,774 mins, 63.7 matches of 90 minutes, including five finals, so the people that are speaking about these minutes, I think they are a bit confused."
"Marcus Rashford is not Dominic Solanke, not Ruben Loftus-Cheek, not Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it is Marcus Rashford - a Manchester United player with an incredible number of appearances and an incredible number of minutes played at the highest level in the best possible competitions. "So Manchester United supporters, for you and just for you, to know what we are doing with Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, that's what we are doing here."https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1040549338412408832
