Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho believes England didn't make enough of Marcus Rashford's free-kick ability in their World Cup defeat to Croatia.

England led after a superb Kieran Trippier free kick five minutes in but they were made pay for their failure to convert further chances by Ivan Perisic's second-half strike and Mario Mandzukic's extra-time victor.

Mourinho had attempted to sign Perisic last summer, but United refused to match Inter's £50 million valuation.

And judging by the Special One's comments, he remains a huge fan of the 29-year-old winger.

Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic was in fantastic form for Croatia in their 2-1 win over England in their semi-final clash on Wednesday, during which he scored a goal and provided the assist for the extra-time victor.

"England of course have a reason to cry but they also have a reason to be optimistic", the Portuguese told Russia Today.

"Normally you look at wingers and they are just fast and creative". Fantastic in the air.

"So the way he wins that ball in the air (for the winning goal) and puts the ball into that space is only possible if you are very, very physical and dominant over defenders".

"They were giving [Dejan] Lovren the mission to go with that first ball with Maguire".

He said: "It was a very hard game". Let us know in the comments section below.

"I could only dream to play for my country and to score one of the most important goals".
