Despite Marcus Rushford's criticism of last season's results, Jose Mourinho believes that the young player has made progress and will hold a stronger season.

"This is the natural evolution of the child, the result of the minutes spent on the field. He is already higher than 13 months ago, when I arrived - by three centimeters.

He also gained muscle mass, while without much work on speed, he is still fast and we do not want to lose these qualities in him, "said Mourinho.

"Rushford - a real professional with a great mood. In the last season there was a long period when he did not score goals and lost a lot of points, but it did not become tragedies for him, but only a part of evolution. We know that this season he will score more goals, "- sure the Portuguese.

It should be noted that Rushford scored already in the second minute of the first preseason match.
