Marcus Rashford apologises for red-card incident

The Belgium global played a key role as Jose Mourinho’s team ended a run of two-straight defeats with a 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday.

Mourinho was embroiled in a close-season feud with United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward over transfer policy, and also criticised United star Paul Pogba for his lack of effort last season.

The season may only be four games old but United have already lost twice and sit six points off the leading pack.

Burnley were unable to capitalise on that man advantage in the closing stages of a match that Sean Dyche’s men had looked leggy in after Thursday’s Europa League exit to Olympiakos.

Fellow United midfielder Marouane Fellaini added: “We have the quality (to win the title), that’s for sure”. Lukaku scored in 27th and 44th minutes to double the lead for the Red Devils.

But Wright has once again gone on the offensive, calling on Rashford to consider playing elsewhere if he remains on the bench.

However, Lukaku was ruthless with the next opportunity that came his way. Jesse Lingard’s shot hit both Ben Mee and Ashley Westwood before bouncing perfectly to Lukaku, who fired home his second of the game.

Moreover, United manager Mourinho does not always deploy Rashford upfront and uses him out wide.

Rashford saw red when Burnley defender Phil Bardsley appeared to kick out at the England worldwide after a challenge.

Eyewitnesses have revealed to the Daily Mail just how angry Rashford was following the first red card of his career.

United, however, dominated the proceedings and maintained to control the match despite being one man down in the final 20 minutes or so.

“I never blame a player for missing penalties”. However, with the score still 0-0 at the break, a different Spurs side and a different United team came out and the visitors were brilliant to deservedly win 3-0.

Fellaini sees no reason why United can not work their way back into title contention as they continue to look to the future and ignore those who want to dwell on the past.

The drama of the second half could not have been predicted after a boring opening 45 minutes for fans at Vicarage Road, including former Watford owner Sir Elton John.

“I would be a bad negotiator; I would give everything to the players”.

Deeney climbed highest from Jose Holebas’ unsafe free kick to power a header into the bottom corner in the 69th for the equaliser.
