Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho aims shock dig at Marcus Rashford and Anthony Marital

Manchester United were downed 1-0 by Brighton at the Amex.

The Red Devils were guilty of wasting the precious few chances they created, with Rashford and Martial both squandering openings.

Mourinho had started England international Rashford up front, with both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku unavailable through injury.

And the Portuguese manager hit out at his two forwards, hinting that Lukaku will be back in the side as soon as he is fit again.

"You have the answer now when you ask 'why always Lukaku?’” he said.

“We are probably not as good as people think we are individually.”

The defeat means United can still be caught by Liverpool in the race for second place in the Premier League.

United have games against West Ham and Watford coming up before their FA Cup final with Chelsea on May 19.

Discussing Friday’s loss, Mourinho added: "It was not good enough. The players that replaced others did not perform at a good level and when individuals do that it is difficult for the team to play well. Maybe now you will not ask me why A, B and C do not play so much.

"I knew what was going to happen and I told them, but that is what we got.”
