The Red Devils drew 2-2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but were denied all three points deep into stoppage time by Ross Barkley’s close-range finish. That came after Martial had scored twice in the second half to cancel out Antonio Rudiger’s headed opener after he lost Paul Pogba at a corner. United were below par before the break but improved sizeably in the second 45 minutes with Martial producing two fine finishes to capitalise on their improvement. Yet United legend and Sky Sports pundit Neville thinks Jose Mourinho’s attack should be performing better as a unit and thinks Rashford and Martial in particular need to work on their movement in behind. “They need more from the front three, there's so much talent there. I would include [Alexis] Sanchez in that as well,“ Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. "If you think of Lukaku, Sanchez, Martial and Rashford, they need more from them. I want to see more runs past Lukaku. “I want the two wide players, whoever they are - you see what Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah do for Liverpool, how they continually make those narrow runs inside. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial's movements needs to improve says Neville Gary Neville wants more from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial Rashford and Martial have been told to watch Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane They could score 20 goals a season from those positions Gary Neville "I'm not saying they should play narrow because [Raheem] Sterling and [Leroy] Sane for [Manchester] City do it differently and play wider. It doesn’t matter where you start but you've got to end up in goalscoring positions more often and you've got to show that little bit of quality and composure in the final third. "I thought in the first half, there was an absolute gulf in the quality of the wide players - between Eden Hazard and Willian and Rashford and Martial - their understanding of the position and their adapting of their position on the pitch when the teams were in possession. “There were no runs in behind with intent, there was a lack of quality on the ball. But in the second half, Martial gives you a glimpse. He shows you what he can do and Rashford does that as well but they've got to perform consistently.” While Rashford and Martial are naturally centre forwards, Neville thinks they can still continue to offer more out wide - even if they would prefer to play through the middle - and should be targeting 20 goals each across a season. Marcus Rashford is only on one goal in the Premier League so far this season Anthony Martial scored twice for United at Chelsea Anthony Martial has three goals in his last two games<doc-sep>A number of Manchester United fans seem to have one major complaint about the Chelsea game on Saturday. Despite a frustrating late equaliser from Ross Barkley preventing United taking all three points, the Red Devils generally gave a good account of themselves in this big game. Anthony Martial was particularly impressive, scoring twice in the second half to put Jose Mourinho’s side on the brink of a big victory. The France international’s display caught the eye in particular and it’s little surprise many MUFC fans are now calling on Mourinho to use him up front. Especially as Romelu Lukaku’s goal drought went on with another poor performance, with a large number of fans on social media calling for the Belgian to be axed – while others being more generous towards him at least think he should be rested. Could Martial or even Alexis Sanchez or Marcus Rashford get a run as a centre-forward? This lot think it would be worth a go, and it’s hard to argue, to be honest… Lukaku was all over the place and the worst player in the team today. ?His movements were nothing near enough. ?He didn’t press Chelsea’s centre backs when they’ve the ball up the field ? He killed all the counterattacks opportunities when receiving the ball — Mufc (@mufclover9) October 20, 2018 Sanchez – Martial – Rashford front 3 Tuesday has to be.

The Manchester United forward has had a mixed time at Old Trafford under the Portuguese, finding himself in and out of the side and failing to show his best on a regular basis. But the double against Chelsea showed his true potential, with Martial delighted to help the Red Devils earn a point at Stamford Bridge, before clarifying his relationship with his boss. “Come on, things were not tense between us to begin with,” Martial said. “We have a player-coach relationship and I hope that we will continue like that and bring Manchester United as much as possible." Jose Mourinho reacted angrily to Marco Ianni's celebration after Ross Barkley's goal, and the Portuguese expressed his delight at his players before revealing he has accepted an apology from Sarri. (Image: EMPICS Sport) (Image: X00177) "The team played very well. Individually in the second half our attacking players raised the bar. "I'm really, really, really pleased with the individuals and the team. I'm not annoyed with anything," said Mourinho. "Sarri said he would solve the problem with his assistant internally and he then came to me and apologised and I said if he really meant it then okay, I accept." Sarri then admitted to being at fault for the chaotic scenes and apologised to Mourinho. (Image: Reuters) "I didn't see anything on the pitch," Sarri said. "After the match I spoke with Jose. Immediately I understood that we were wrong. "I then spoke with the member of my staff and brought him to Mourinho to say sorry. I think it is finished. "I don't know at the moment [if I was punish Ianni]. I want to speak to him again. "I have dealt with the situation immediately, of course, I need to speak with Mourinho again. I want to be sure he understands it was our big mistake."<doc-sep>
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has sent a strong message to his old club’s wide-players yesterday despite Anthony Martial scoring twice in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea. The France international showed glimpses of his best finishing ability as he netted twice at Stamford Bridge, which was almost enough for a win but for Ross Barkley’s equaliser at the death. Despite that, however, Neville insists he still thinks the likes of Martial and Marcus Rashford can contribute much more than they have. The former United right-back wants to see more effort and intelligence to their play, as well as more consistency after now having plenty of time to develop in the first-team. Neville insists this is a compliment to the two as he believes there is plenty of talent there, though it’s fair to say United have certainly not managed to show that often enough this season. ‘They need more from the front three, there’s so much talent there,’ he said on the Gary Neville podcast, as quoted by Sky Sports. ‘If you think of Lukaku, (Alexis) Sanchez, Martial and Rashford, they need more from them. I want to see more runs past Lukaku. ‘I want the two wide players, whoever they are – you see what Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah do for Liverpool, how they make those narrow runs inside. ‘I thought in the first half, there was an absolute gulf in the quality of the wide players – between Eden Hazard and Willian and Rashford and Martial – they’re understanding of the position and their adapting of their position on the pitch when the team were in possession, there were no runs in behind with intent, there was a lack of quality on the ball. ‘But in the second half, Martial gives you a glimpse. He shows you what he can do and Rashford does that as well but they’ve got to perform consistently. ‘I’m not saying they have to play narrow but wherever you start, you’ve got to end up in goal-scoring positions more often and you’ve got to show that little bit of quality and composure in the final third.’ Both Martial and Rashford are pretty popular figures at Old Trafford, but even their biggest fans surely couldn’t argue more is needed from them on a regular basis.
