Mourinho was talking to Dele Alli successful a documentary bid portion helium was manager astatine Tottenham.
It could beryllium a speech Ruben Amorim has with 27-year-old Marcus Rashford present helium is Old Trafford boss.
We each cognize what Rashford tin do.
He burst connected the country aged 18 successful 2016 with a Europa League treble — his archetypal United goals — connected his debut against Midtjylland.
And we saw it 2 seasons ago, erstwhile helium posted a career-best of 30 goals arsenic United finished 3rd and won the Carabao Cup.
The kid who grew up successful Wythenshawe with the imagination of playing for the Red Devils was successful the spotlight.
But the floodlights person faded.
In the past 18 months, helium has mislaid his spot successful the England squad, the United squad and deed much headlines for what helium did disconnected the tract than connected it.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Partying aft a decision successful the Manchester derby, retired until the aboriginal hours successful Belfast erstwhile helium was owed to bid aboriginal that day.
Just precocious arsenic helium prepared for beingness nether caller brag Amorim, helium took the clip disconnected fixed for the planetary interruption to pitchy to New York.
Gary Neville admits 'I got it wrong' and apologises implicit Rashford disapproval arsenic Amorim demands Man Utd 'change standards'
He was court-side for the NBA match betwixt New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, dressed successful a agelong Louis Vuitton overgarment and sporting glitzy grillz.
Fine if you are connected apical of your game... not specified a bully look erstwhile you cannot find it.
And Rashford has not been capable to find it for immoderate time.
There were 9 cry-offs from the past England squad for their last 2 matches nether Lee Carsley and inactive helium was not worthy a call.
Which tells you wherever helium is at.
Amorim employed Rashford up beforehand for his archetypal crippled successful complaint against Ipswich, connected Sunday, chiefly due to the fact that Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are truthful bad.
Inside 2 minutes helium took vantage of immoderate large enactment by Amad Diallo to enactment United into the pb and then...he faded.
Red Devils fans person started cheering erstwhile helium gets subbed now.
Previous brag Erik 10 Hag was astatine his wits’ extremity with Rashford by the last days of his reign.

The Dutchman privately admitted helium would person dumped him into the reserves aft that Belfast party incidental successful January had helium had capable players disposable to instrumentality his place.
Ten Hag did everything to support Rashford and assistance him but was fto down by the player.
Everyone knows determination is simply a bully feline there.
Rashford’s MBE for charitable work, helping the mediocre and hungry, tells you each you request to cognize astir a antheral with a bully heart.
And his tears erstwhile United won the FA Cup past play told you however overmuch helium loves the club.
But helium has been excessively easy swallowed up by the celebrity and enactment manner connected connection to each young stars if they privation it.
Amorim emphasised up of Thursday's Europa League lucifer against Bodo/Glimt — who, with 6,500 fans astatine Old Trafford, volition have one-eighth of the Norwegian city’s colonisation successful attendance — that the thrust to get backmost to his champion has to travel from Rashford first.
It was the aforesaid mantra that came from Ten Hag.
Amorim knows playing done the mediate is not his champion presumption and volition employment him wide, successful the agelong run, successful a 3-4-3.
Amorim needs A LOT of clip connected grooming transportation to hole Man Utd... unluckily helium won't get it, writes Charlie Wyett
IN mentation astatine least, the lone mode is up for Manchester United, writes Charlie Wyett.
We are astir a 3rd of the mode done this Premier League play and it is inactive staggering to spot United lurking successful 12th place.
They person managed conscionable 4 wins with a extremity quality of 0. Only Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton person scored less.
It is surely not a mendacious presumption and a constituent astatine Ipswich illustrated the monolithic occupation that Ruben Amorim faces.
United’s fans sang the sanction of their caller manager passim the game.
They besides gave the players rapturous applause connected the last whistle and though this was an betterment connected immoderate of the performances this season, the barroom has been acceptable beauteous low.
The club’s optimistic supporters volition spot that their squad is lone six points disconnected the apical four. Ultimately, though, it is hard to spot United adjacent reaching past season’s last presumption of eighth arsenic they look worse.
United’s patched-up defence volition amended - and a three-man enactment astatine the backmost volition assistance them - but you person to wonderment wherever the goals are going to travel from. Marcus Rashford struck aft 81 seconds and past went missing for the remainder of his 68 minutes connected the pitch.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee were besides introduced successful that treble alteration midway wrong the 2nd fractional but added perfectly nothing. What a unspeakable mates of signings they person proved to beryllium and United’s fans would swap some of them for Ipswich’s Liam Delap.
Amorim did not observe the Rashford extremity and paced astir his method country passim looking uneasy.
Each clip determination was a interruption successful play, helium called implicit players for instructions.
Alejandro Garnacho headed implicit to the touchline connected a mates of occasions portion determination were besides words for Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Jonny Evans.
Amorim, a manager with infectious enthusiasm, volition beryllium hopeful helium tin get his connection crossed to each of the players successful the adjacent fewer weeks.
But the occupation for the Portuguese manager is that this was the archetypal of 10 games successful the abstraction of 33 days.
What helium truly needs are spells connected the grooming crushed without a midweek crippled but helium does not person that luxury.
The lone occupation is the shortage of alternatives.
United’s deficiency of goals has been a occupation for immoderate clip and conscionable 3 teams person scored less than their 13 goals successful the Prem this season.
Rashford is apical scorer with 5 successful each competitions. Hojlund has 2 and Zirkzee one.
Amorim said: “There is simply a interest but we person to amended arsenic a team. We person prime players who tin people truthful galore goals.
“But you could consciousness it successful the 2nd fractional connected Sunday, we controlled possession of the shot but we were not dangerous.
“Maybe due to the fact that we walk the week trying to enactment connected physique up and past the remainder was not working.
“We volition effort to amended arsenic a squad and Rasmus and Josh and Rash volition people much goals.
“Even Bruno Fernandes has to people much goals! Amad has to beryllium amended adjacent the goal.”
Rashford has to amended and quickly.
Because contiguous helium mightiness beryllium 27 but time helium could beryllium 56.
Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… helium tin revive Man Utd
WHEN Ruben Amorim took complaint of Sporting Lisbon successful March 2020, 1 nine authoritative compared their concern to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.
Optimism and anticipation was astatine an all-time low.
But the Amorim-effect was astir instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their archetypal league rubric for 19 years successful 2020/21, losing conscionable erstwhile and lone conceding 20 goals.
Since then, Sporting person lifted different league rubric successful 2023/24 – arsenic good arsenic 2 League Cups – and presently beryllium apical with 9 wins from 9 this term.
He whitethorn beryllium young, but Amorim already has an oculus for rebuilding and revitalising fallen ace powers with his infectious charisma and aggravated tactical doctrine that hardly ever wavers.
The “walking dead” astatine Manchester United indispensable beryllium praying for a akin benignant of revival.
And they whitethorn conscionable get it from 1 of the astir talented young coaches connected the continent – a antheral accustomed to breathing caller beingness backmost into crumbling institutions specified arsenic Old Trafford.
Amorim has spent the past decennary dreaming of 1 time gracing England’s Premier League, specified was his admiration for an ex-United brag successful Jose Mourinho increasing up.
Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol successful an internship capableness astatine United’s Carrington grooming basal successful 2018, going connected to mention him arsenic his “reference point”.
United should not beryllium expecting a mini-Mourinho, arsenic Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is 1 of a kind. There won't beryllium different Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”
And yet, you cannot assistance but comparison the two.
For each the mismanagement successful the Old Trafford blistery seats implicit the years, this would beryllium a existent get – yet a slap successful the look United’s Prem rivals person nary reply for.
