Jose Mourinho: Man Utd star told me this in Anderlecht game… it earns my trust

The Red Devils were taken to extra-time in their quarter-final second leg with Anderlecht at Old Trafford.

But Marcus Rashford crucially scored the winner to give United a 2-1 victory (3-2 on aggregate).

Mourinho’s men were made to suffer though as centre-back Marcos Rojo and top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic sustained knee injuries.

United had to use all three substitutes by 90 minutes, meaning left-back Luke Shaw faced a full 120 minutes of action.

"After 90 minutes, before I know that I have to change Zlatan, he had cramp, I had Ashley Young ready to come on, and he told me I'm going to play for 30 minutes with cramps, no problem.

"He said if you need to make a change in another position I am ready for it.

"These kind of things make me trust the players.”

With Manchester United’s defensive injury list growing, Shaw could now earn himself a run of games as the season draws to a close.
