Manchester United manager José Mourinho has berated Anthony Martial for his lack of defensive discipline⊗.
Mourinho said his change of formation for Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat at West Ham was down to Anthony Martial’s lack of defensive discipline.
“I want to play Martial, something that you [the media] are asking for a long, long, long time,” Mourinho told a news conference. “I left Alexis out and I think Martial is not a player very, very focused on his defensive duties.
“I thought to play him as a second striker would be easier for him and at the same time I feel we need quality on ball in the building up from the back and Scott McTominay has that quality with the ball.”
Manchester United worst start in 29 years puts José Mourinho under pressure.
