Manchester United have reportedly turned down an approach by Tottenham for Marcus Rashford, but Jose Mourinho already identified a member of their current squad as the next best thing.
Rashford burst onto the scene at United in 2015, and the 24-year-old has already racked up over 200 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils. But he struggled last season, and had to settle for the bench for large parts of the campaign.
The Times reported that Tottenham were knocked back by United after expressing interest in the forward, with Antonio Conte keen to bolster his attacking line ahead of the new season. But while Mourinho was at Tottenham, he tipped youngster Dane Scarlett to be the 'new Rashford' as he showered him with praise.
