穆里尼奧確信馬夏爾在新的賽季里會表現更強。
馬夏爾在曼聯有個夢幻開局，15-16賽季出場49次打進17個進球。第二個賽季的表現有所下滑，42次出場打進8球，不過依然捧起了足總杯、聯賽杯和歐聯杯。
這名21歲的前鋒首次參加了曼聯夏天的季前賽，在友誼賽中表現出色，在聯賽首輪4-0大勝西漢姆的比賽中同樣表現強勁。
「我對他有信心，」談到馬夏爾時，穆里尼奧說。「或許，我在轉會市場上關注的並不是邊鋒，因為我有邊鋒。我需要引進的是三中衛體系裡的翼衛。作為一個攻擊型球員，馬夏爾是個好球員。」
「他是比上賽季表現更好的球員之一。我看著我的球員，我能確定其中一些會比上賽季表現更好，安東尼當然是其中一個。」
穆里尼奧組建了一支年輕的球隊，比如馬夏爾，他希望隨著時間的推移他們能變的更好。在歐冠聯賽中踢球-對某些球員來說還是第一次-也會讓他們受益。
「他們都很年輕，」穆里尼奧在季前賽的新聞會上解釋。「米奇和馬塔快30歲了。盧卡庫24歲，林加德和拉什福德都在最好的年華，他們現在都有比賽踢。他們都是國家隊成員，也有機會參加國際比賽。」
「我們現在要打歐冠，這是拉什福德第一次參加歐冠聯賽。安東尼在摩納哥的時候有一點經驗，林加德打過幾場不過經驗也不多。盧卡庫也是第一次。對他們來說，歐冠能夠對他們的發展提供很多經驗。」
Jose Mourinho has expressed his total faith in Anthony Martial and backed the Manchester United forward to become a better player throughout the season.
Martial was a revelation during his first campaign with the Reds, in 2015/16, when he scored 17 goals in 49 appearances. His second term was less successful on an individual basis, after scoring eight times in 42 games, but he did lift the FA Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League.
The 21-year-old completed his first pre-season training camp with United over the summer and that appears to be paying dividends on the pitch, following a number of impressive performances in friendlies and his excellent finish in last weekend’s 4-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League.
「I have faith in him,」 Mourinho said of Martial. 「Probably, the player I was looking at [in the transfer market] was not a pure winger, because I have pure wingers. The player I was looking for would allow me to play three at the back and do the wing-backs. As a pure attacking player, Martial is a good player.
「He is one of the players who will have a better season than last season. I look at my players and I am sure some will be better than they were last season, and Anthony is one of those, for sure.」
Mourinho has assembled a young squad and, like Martial, he expects them all to get better as time goes on. The experience of playing in the Champions League - some for the first time - will also benefit them.
「They』re all young,」 Mourinho explained during his pre-match press conference. 「Micki and Mata are close to their 30s. Romelu is 24, Lingard and Rashford are a good age and they』re all playing. They are also national team players with the chance to play international games.
「We are in the Champions League, so it is the first time for Rashford to play Champions League. Anthony had a bit with Monaco, Lingard had a few matches but not more than that. For Romelu, it is the first time. For them, the Champions league can be a great experience with their development.」
