Rashford was not a regular starter under Mourinho last season despite making 52 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United.
The signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in January made it even harder for Rashford to nail down a spot in the side.
The academy graduate has been linked with a move away from the club in order to seek first-team football.
He is currently preparing for England’s opening World Cup game against Tunisia on Monday evening.

And Wright believes the way Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has treated Rashford is far better than the way Jose Mourinho has.

“We know he’s not got a history, Jose, of really bringing through youth players, youth-team players.
