Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho expects lift-off from Anthony Martial after the international break.

Last season's top scorer with 17 goals lost focus and his place in the United team after breaking up with childhood sweetheart Samantha Jacquelinet in April.

But he scored his first goal of the campaign as a sub against Stoke on Sunday and Man United boss Mourinho has been working hard with the France forward, says The Sun.

Mourinho has told Martial he believes in him but he must knuckle down.

The United boss thinks Martial's stunning effort in the 1-1 draw at the weekend will help.

He said: “He needs that. It was an amazing goal. So it was good for him."
