Manchester United 2-0 Watford: Juan Mata and Anthony Martial fire Jose Mourinho's side within one point of the Premier League top four

Daily Mail | February 11, 2017

Anthony Martial scored Manchester United's second goal and Jose Mourinho could barely contain his delight, punching the air repeatedly. It was game over. And maybe, just maybe, Martial is starting to get the message.

The young Frenchman has been the source of much frustration for his manager. Mourinho has challenged Martial to make the most of his first-team opportunities and then rebuked him for not doing so.

The man who could end up costing United £58million has endured a difficult second season after such a bright start at Old Trafford.
