Hello friend steemit, Good Afternoon wherever you are
Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho explained his reason for pulling out Marcus Rashford in the second round. Mourinho said he did not want to risk the player being sent out after his team got under pressure.
The 20-year-old was a major highlight in Manchester United and Liverpool matches last night. He successfully made the Old Trafford public turbulent after he scored two goals against Liverpool. Impressive Rashford failed to score a hat trick at Old Trafford. In the 70th minute, Jose Mourinho decided to pull out himself and was replaced with Marouane Fellaini. Mourinho called the reason for Rashford's withdrawal because he was afraid the player got a second yellow card after already getting a yellow card in the first round. "I heard that Gary Neville hoped Marcus Rashford got a red card and I was afraid maybe the referee would listen to that in half-time," Mourinho said jokingly on United's official yard. "In the second half we have to play more defensively, because Liverpool started to put the situation with a lot of players put into the middle position." "That condition makes Ashley Young have to go somewhat to the middle while Marcus Rashford must stem Alexander Arnold in the wing sector while carrying a yellow card and pressure.I finally made the decision to replace it with a player who could commit a violation to Alexander-Arnold." he said.
