Man United beat Benfica 1-0 in Lisbon with Marcus Rashford's free-kick

Marcus Rashford caught Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar out with a free-kick on Wednesday as Man United beat Benfica 1-0 in Lisbon. Red Devils coach Jose Mourinho admitted he told his players to target the 18-year-old stopper

"I knew how good he was and I told the players how good he was," Mourinho told BT Sport. "But we had stats and information about set pieces, so we needed to make him uncomfortable.

"So at corners we tried to crowd him and put him under pressure, and from free-kicks we knew he risks a lot. A lot. Only top keepers risk like he does. We got lucky."
