Jose Mourinho compares 16-year-old Tottenham wonderkid Dane Scarlett to Manchester United star

Jose Mourinho has shared his praise on Tottenham teenager Dane Scarlettm, comparing him to Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford. Spurs cleebrated a 4 - 0 win over Wolfsberger AC in the Europa League yesterday, with the 16-year-old providing an assist during the clash. Mourinho was impressed by the youngster's display and shared his full praise after the match. "He’s a diamond. He’s a kid with an incredible potential," he said. "He’s working many, many times with the first team which gives him of course a different personality. "He’s playing of course with the young people, he’s still 16, 17 soon but he’s still 16. And I believe that next season he’s going to be a first-team player, a first-team squad player, because his talent is to develop and when the kids are very, very good, 17, 18 or 19 years old doesn’t change much. "He’s going to be a fantastic player. I hope just that everything goes well around him and nothing strange disturbs his development, because the kid is a fantastic talent. "He’s a striker, a number nine, but I am playing him more from the sides. A little bit similar to what happened to Rashford. "When you are too young, it’s more difficult to be a nine and it’s easier to come from the sides without losing that killer instinct. Very clever. I am very, very pleased."
