    In the Belgian’s absence, Anthony Martial and Rashford shared the attacking responsibilities in United’s opening Premier League game against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

    Rashford, 21, opened the scoring from the penalty spot and grabbed another after Anthony Martial had doubled the lead, with United running out 4-0 winners.<\/p>\n

    But despite the brace, Mourinho believes Rashford needs to score more goals if he is to replace Lukaku.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe has to score more goals,\u201d Mourinho told Sky Sports during their coverage of the clash.<\/p>\n

    \u201cEspecially without Lukaku in the team it will probably be these two [Rashford and Anthony Martial], plus Alexis [Sanchez] and Mason [Greenwood]. He will be on the pitch all the time and he has the qualities to be better and better and better.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe has the ambition and work ethic, he wants to improve, he wants to work. This season he has a big opportunity to be a better player and score more goals.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt depends on the way they play. Playing the way they played today against a Chelsea team that allowed them to play the way they like to play, he is very dangerous.<\/p>\n

    “Against teams with compact blocks, a lower block, that are more physical, I think it is a bit more difficult for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
