Wigan boss Martinez questions English youth development

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez has questioned the development structure inside English football.

Martinez, the Barclays Premier League's only Spanish boss, feels the problem is not the players but a system that does not ask enough of young players.

"I hate it when people say English players cannot be as technical as Spanish," he said. "The English player is technical. It's in the age of 18-21 we have to improve."
