Jose Mourinho Plans to Deploy Anthony Martial As Central Striker Next Season Amid Exit Concerns

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is ready to give Anthony Martial a chance to play more centrally next season - if the Frenchman chooses to stay at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old has been in the news a lot recently for supposedly rejecting an offer of a new deal from the club and being a target for Chelsea, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

Martial has been on the periphery this season at United, and has seemingly not yet gained the trust of Mourinho despite a relatively good goals and assists record for the minutes he has played.
