Peter Schmeichel has delivered his verdict on how Manchester United can end a difficult season on a high. The clubs legendary goalkeeper was speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports following their 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, and suggested what hed do if he were Louis van Gaal to ensure a successful conclusion to 2015/16.From where to play Anthony Martial to whether their priorities should be league or cup, here is what Schmeichel had to say... Play Martial as a central striker Martial is now Manchester Uniteds top Premier League goalscorer this season with eight strikes, after netting their winner over Everton. The French youngster has impressed in a wide forward role this campaign, but Schmeichel believes he should be shifted from the left into the middle. SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Hopefully Martial is going to play in the No 9 position. Id like to see him play where Marcus Rashford played [against Everton]. Id like to see Rashford being eased more into it, so he doesnt have to play in every game. I really, really want Martial to be the No 9 of Man United and then everybody knows.I think he plays well coming in from the left, but he is much more dangerous [in the middle]. It requires people around him so he can play. Anthony Martial netted Manchester Uniteds 1000th home Premier League goal in their 1-0 win over Everton. Push Rooney back into midfield Wayne Rooney should drop into midfield, says Schmeichel Wayne Rooney is due back from injury in the coming weeks following a lengthy lay-off, and Schmeichel believes the captain should be restored in a deeper role.SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Wayne can play in different positions. If you ask him, he wants to play in the No 10 position, but Id like to see Wayne develop into a midfield player because he can play a little bit like Paul Scholes did. I am sure he can develop the engine to play in midfield.His vision and the way he sees football is really beneficial to the way that Manchester United should play. He can play the long passes that weve seen [Morgan] Schneiderlin pass, but he can also play the little balls, as weve seen so many times when he has been asked to play in other positions. He can tackle, he can win the ball back and he can defend. But Wayne has to want to play in that position.Give Rashford a rest Marcus Rashford has started the last nine games for United Since exploding onto the scene in late February with his double against FC Midtjylland, Rashford has now started nine games in a row for Manchester United. Schmeichel, however, believes that the 18-year-old shouldnt be overplayed at this stage of his career. SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Over the years, there has always been a goalscorer up front. There has always been someone to put the ball in the back of the net scoring 15 or 20 goals. Martial is the top scorer coming from the left and we have not known who is going to be the No 9.I like the boy Rashford, he is an incredible talent and I am seriously looking forward to the future, but he is a young lad and he needs to be eased into the game. He is doing well at the moment, but playing every game can ruin him. It doesnt have to be much wrong to set him back a long, long time.Prioritise the league over the FA Cup Chris Smalling of Manchester United in action with Andy Carroll of West Ham United It wasnt too long ago that Champions League qualification seemed impossible for United. But an upturn in form and the struggles of Manchester City have seen them move back to a point behind their rivals in fourth.Van Gaals side also have an FA Cup quarter-final replay with West Ham later this month, but Schmeichel says the top four must be the priority. SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Champions League football is essential for a club of Manchester Uniteds calibre. They have to play in that tournament. If not, its a failure.Winning the FA Cup is nice and its a really, really nice day out at Wembley and is something the fans can look forward to but its nothing compared to the Champions League. The game here against Spurs is much more important than the replay against West Ham.Its time to rotate the squad Louis van Gaal gives instructions United named an unchanged lineup from the side that beat Manchester City a fortnight ago but, with their injury problems easing, Schmeichel believes its time for Van Gaal to utilize his squad to its full potential.SCHMEICHEL SAYS: I seriously think it would be some achievement for Manchester United to get themselves into that fourth position, but Im doubting it. The performance today shows a lot of limitations. You look at the bench now and some of the names coming back from injury and he has been forced to play in a certain way with certain players for a long time. Now they are coming back.Van Gaal will have choices now and can rest some of his players. He has not had that opportunity and lets wait and see what happens.

Look, it wasnt a big request. I get that we are playing games. I totally get the answer.This is my last day, I would hope that a couple of balls didnt hit me in the mouth. It was a fun request.Rodriguez tried to play down any dissension.I wouldnt make a big deal about it, Rodriguez said in front of his locker before Thursdays game. They are probably saving me some embarrassment.Rodriguez pinch hit Wednesday, flying out to left in the seventh. He was booed.It was louder than usual, Rodriguez said. One last lick before I go back to Miami.Rodriguez lives in Miami, leading to speculation he could end up with the?Marlins. He said if he ever decides to play for another team, he will first consult with Steinbrenner.When asked directly if he views Friday as his last game as a Yankee or his last game ever, A-Rod was fully clear with his intentions.Im focusing on this is it, Rodriguez said. Im not looking beyond that. I value pinstripes. I value this organization. To me, this is it. ' ' '
