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.
