Louis Saha backs Manchester United to turn their fortunes around and 'go on a run' as he singles out Anthony Martial as the player who is 'UNPLAYABLE' when on form

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has backed Anthony Martial to play a crucial role in helping the side get back on track this season.

The 25-year-old has been a peripheral figure at Old Trafford this season, starting just two league matches under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

With the Norwegian coach being relieved of his duties on Sunday, though, Martial was named in the starting line-up for United's clash at Villarreal two days later.

Saha feels that it is not too late for his old club United to turn their season around

Interim boss Michael Carrick picked up a 2-0 win in his first game in the dugout as United secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, and Martial did his chances of getting more game time no harm at all by causing problems down the left wing.
