Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho defended starting Anthony Martial for defeat to West Ham.

Mourinho insists the media should've been happy with the decision.

He said: "Look, for how many months people are asking for Martial and Alexis Sanchez is not playing well enough so this week it was time for me to agree so I picked Martial and left Alexis out."

On Paul Pogba and his unhappiness, Mourinho responded: "He's trying hard."

On West Ham, he added: "When you are winning and you are full of confidence that is the best victory you can have. One goal is offside, the second goal is own goal and the third goal is referee's mistake but for the next game we have to have a better start."
