MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said it makes no sense for his striker Marcus Rashford to play for England's Under-21 team in June's European Championship, as the teenager had risen above that level.

Despite Rashford breaking into the full England squad, national team manager Gareth Southgate has said he would like to have the 19-year-old at the youth tournament in Poland.
