Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez says James McCarthy chose right when deciding on a move to the DW ahead of Liverpool.

The Latics face Liverpool tomorrow night.

Martinez said: "I have always been a big admirer of James and I followed his career for a long time. When a youngster gets to play at such a young age it makes you sit up and take notice.

"That meant I was delighted when he made that rather strange decision not to go to a top, top club like Liverpool. I think that decision is being proved right now."
