Jose Mourinho says he is powerless to stop Manchester United's Marcus Rashford being selected by England for this summer's European U21 Championships, claiming he has "no legal right" to block the forward's participation.

England manager Gareth Southgate has given under-21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd the all-clear to select Rashford, 19, for the European finals in Poland in June, despite the player being a regular in the senior international squad.

Mourinho spoke out earlier this season to warn that he would not support Rashford being called up by the under-21s for the tournament unless he had been overlooked by the senior team.
