Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford, has admitted that Jose Mourinho urged him to be more \u201csavvy\u201d in order to win more penalties for the club.<\/p>\n
Recently, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp mocked United\u2019s high penalty count, by claiming that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side had been awarded more spot-kicks in the last two years than his team.<\/p>\n
Since Solskjaer replaced Mourinho in December 2018, United have been given 42 penalties while Liverpool have gotten 19 in all competitions.<\/p>\n
But Rashford has revealed that Mourinho encouraged him to change the way he approached situations after receiving contact in the opposition\u2019s area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when Jose was manager, there were five or six times I can remember where I should have had a penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cJose ended up saying to me, \u2018if you are not savvy about the way you do it, then you are not going to give it\u2019. After that, we started to get a few penalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was something that in terms of development you have to learn that and understand it,\u201d Rashford said in an interview with the FWA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
