Former Chelsea star Claude Makelele says N'Golo Kante should be doing more to help his team.

The France international started for just the second time in the Premier League under new manager Thomas Tuchel against Manchester United on Sunday.

And Makelele wants to see Kante to take more of a leadership role within the team.

"For me, I expect more from N'Golo Kante because he can be better than me," Makelele said on Chelsea's Matchday show.

"He needs more communication with his defenders.

"You want him to have more responsibility, more power to say: 'I'm here. You do this behind me and I'll do this in front of you'. He can have leadership in this team. I know Kante is shy, never talks, he just wants to do his job. But I think he can do more."
