Jose Mourinho Walks On The Pitch To Congratulate Anthony Martial For Closing Down

A delighted Jose Mourinho celebrated Anthony Martial's closing down by walking onto the pitch and patting him on the back.

The Manchester United manager then shouted "yes" in his ear as his two goals helped Manchester United to a draw.

It was a must win game for United, with key second half performances from Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial helping them to dominate.

But Ross Barkley's last minute goal stopped Mourinho's side from picking up all three points.

Martial, who proved his doubters wrong with a sublime individual effort against this undefeated Chelsea side, looked delighted as he embraced his manager.

Ashley Young was certainly complimentary after the full-time whistle, dubbing the winger a 'world class' talent.

"He's fantastic, a world-class player. He shows that kind of finishing day in, day out at training. He's just unbelievable."

Martial's inability to track back has brought criticism in the past, but his defensive display against Chelsea left plenty to be desired.

It has been an uncertain time for Martial, with his future being up in the air after leaving the Manchester United camp during pre-season to see the his new-born child.

How things have changed in recent weeks.
