Chelsea hero Nevin: Man Utd boss Mourinho knows where best to field Martial

Chelsea hero Pat Nevin has offered Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho some advice about where best to play Anthony Martial.

Martial provided two assists as he helped the Red Devils record a 4-0 win over Wigan and book their place in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup.

Nevin says Mourinho being switched from a central role to a wide role was key to the performance United put in on the night.

"When Martial moved out from centre-forward to the left wing he was far, far better," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
