Ralf Rangnick believes a conversation he had with Anthony Martial benefited the player on his return for Manchester United.
Martial emerged for his first appearance since December 2 with the game goalless against West Ham and he performed brightly before he played in Edinson Cavani to tee up Marcus Rashford for a 93rd-minute winner.
United have rejected a loan offer from Sevilla for Martial, who informed Rangnick of his wish to leave last month, and Rangnick last week claimed the France international refused to be selected for the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. Martial denied Rangnick's claim but the German did not backtrack in midweek.
