Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained his decision to start Anthony Martial against Southampton on Sunday.

The Frenchman was recalled to the line-up as Solskjaer wanted to start him along with Mason Greenwood in attack.

"We wanted to get Antho going, to have call it two more forwards, Anthony to drift into the left and Mason coming inside from the right," Solskjaer said when asked about the decision to recall Martial.

"Mason scores a very good goal, he didn't have one of his best days but he still contributes. When Jadon came on, I thought he looked really sharp for the first 10 or 15 mins but then the whole team fell away and in the last 15 mins we didn't play particularly well."
