London: Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has warned Anthony Martial he must listen to him rather than his agent if he wants to be a success at Old Trafford. Martial was United's top scorer last season with 17 goals, but his equaliser in Saturday's 2-1 home win over Middlesbrough.
Mourinho believes the French player's agent Philippe Lamboley is a problem amid reports he is "studying" an option for Martial to move to Sevilla. "Anthony has to listen to me and not listen to his agent," said Mourinho.
"Martial played, he created, he scored. He fought. He was very positive. I know he is a top talent. He has to listen to me in training every day, every feedback I give to try and improve players." Jose added ahead of his team's visit to West Ham today.
Jose said Martial should follow the example of Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan who struggled for game time in the early part of Mourinho's reign. "With the Mkhitaryan process, I was having almost every day his agent calling me and saying 'Mkhitaryan with you will be a better player'," said Mourinho.
"With Martial I read the newspaper and Martial is going to Sevilla, Martial goes on loan, Martial is not happy. Martial has to listen to me."
