Martinez convinced Man Utd, Man City will soon be chasing Wigan youngsters

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez feels several of his young players are destined for a bigger stage.

Martinez is convinced the talent in his squad can pull off a great escape - and then push for a move to big clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United.

The likes of Scots James McCarthy and James McArthur have caught the eye this term, along with striker Victor Moses.

And Martinez said: "I feel we have the type of players who, with the right progression, can play at the highest level in world football.

"I feel we have a few players who are not ready yet but they have the potential to play for a team like Manchester City or the top level in world football.

"The next 10 games are so important for these players' careers and everyone involved.

"This is our dream. It is the sixth season in the Premier League and that is a fantastic football story.

"So we are going to give our lives and everything else to stay in the Premier League."
