Martial played a bit-part role under Jose Mourinho last season, making just 18 Premier League starts.

"I have faith in Anthony," Mourinho insisted. 

"Probably the player I was looking at was not a pure winger because I have pure wingers.

"Probably the player that I was looking for is a player that allows me to play with three at the back and play wing backs.

"Because - as a pure attacking player - Anthony is a good player. He is one of the players I believe is going to have a better season this season than the previous season.

"I look at some of my players and I am sure that some players are going to be better. Anthony is that for sure."

Martial has enjoyed an impressive start to the season with two goals in two games from the bench against West Ham and Swansea.
