Jose Mourinho: 'Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford can play together'

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says that he has no issues with handing starting roles to Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the same match.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he is prepared to start both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the same match.

Throughout this season, Mourinho has tended to use one player from the opening whistle and the other as an impact substitute, with Rashford coming off the bench in the Premier League on three occasions and Martial as many as half-a-dozen times.

However, the Portuguese has suggested that he always considers using the duo from the start, despite selecting Romelu Lukaku for each of the club's 13 matches in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "We played Martial and Rashford together one week ago so they can play together. What you can't do is play with 12.

"So we can repeat against Benfica or we can repeat against any other match. Nobody here thinks about any other match than Benfica. Nobody here thinks about Chelsea."

Martial - who scored the winning goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday - has admitted that he would like more opportunities in the first team.
