Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho told Anthony Martial he had to improve after failing to take his opportunities in the first team. Why Shaw and Martial remain part of Man Utd's plans Martial, 21, has scored twice in just nine Premier League starts this season, having impressed in his maiden campaign in

Mourinho said the France international had simply not taken his chances when they were given to him.
"I don't think he lost his focus. I think he just didn't catch with both hands a big opportunity he had," he told UK newspapers.
"We have still five players for these positions — we have Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Martial. I cannot give to the same player chance after chance after chance and not consider the effort of the others.
