Marcus Rashford has admitted that Manchester United players have learned from Jose Mourinho how to get more penalties during matches. The Red Devils striker added that he and his teammates often quarrel over penalty kicks, even in training.
Bruno Fernandes is currently the regular penalty taker after scoring seven and missing just one since the start of the season. However, Rashford, Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood have also scored goals from the penalty spot in the last year. Rashford admitted that with so many scorers, there is always a big debate about the execution of penalties. `It`s worse in training than in matches. We fight every day, ` the striker said.
United have received 11 penalties in all competitions since the start of the season and 22 last season. Rashford believes that this is a natural development of the Red Devils` attacks, because they spend most of their time in the opponent`s half.
`Attackers always want to score goals. When we sprint with the ball or dribble and see a defender coming, we don`t want to be knocked down because we have a chance to score. Nobody gives the ball just like that. Our desire is to score, our opponents want to score`I remember a lot of situations where we weren`t given obvious penalty kicks, ` Rashford was quoted as saying by the Manchester Evening News.
`Under Jose Mourinho, I was fouled five or six times in the penalty area and I didn`t fall. He told me that if I wasn`t smart and convincing enough, they would never play a foul on me. Then we started getting penalties. `These things learn over the years, ` he added.
