August 13th Rashford was recently a guest at The RestisFootball podcast program and was interviewed by Leinker.

Asked which head coach had the most influence on him, Rashford said: "I might say Van Gaal, Mourinho and Ole Gunnar. Yes, they are very different, but as you said, I have experienced a lot of coaches, so it's hard to compare them."

"When you were a player in the growth stage, I never met a coach who was so focused on winning before Mourinho. It's not that Van Gaal wasn't focusing on winning, but he wanted to play a good one. Mourinho doesn't care about this when he watches football. If he wins, he wins, and then you focus on the next game. "

" So I was always angry at the beginning because even if we win, I didn't play well, but Mourinho is a winner. He won't mention what you lacked in the last game because we won. But if we lose, he will ask questions, but six months later, I began to learn to adapt and respect his style and gain a lot from it. "
