Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has demanded more consistency from Anthony Martial, after the forward impressed in their win over Real Madrid on Sunday.
Martial set up Jesse Lingard for the first goal with a mesmeric solo run, although he missed his penalty kick during the shoot-out which United eventually won 2-1.
The France international struggled to cement his position in United’s starting XI last season, after bursting onto the scene in 2015/2016.
“Obviously we want more consistency in his talent, I think today was a positive for him, that’s why I left him for 90 minutes on the pitch, he was enjoying and trying things,” Mourinho said afterwards.
“It’s important to try things in these friendly matches so it’s good for Anthony and his confidence.
“He is a young player, still time to learn, still time to improve, still time to develop, and it’s also his personality.
“I can say he is training better than before, he’s working harder than before, it’s a question to bring his talent more in a consistent way.”
