Peter Schmeichel has delivered his verdict on how Manchester United can end a difficult season on a high. Dana Barros Jersey . 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.

The Phillies topped the Astros 2-1 in 15 innings on Tuesday night. Utley, Howard and Marlon Byrd -- the Phillies Nos. 3-5 hitters -- had five hits and six RBIs. "It makes a big difference all the way around," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "That becomes contagious." David Buchanan (6-5) was called up again to replace Cliff Lee, who is on the disabled list for a second time because of a left elbow strain sustained last Thursday. Buchanan, whose strategy was to get ahead of hitters, gave up three runs and nine hits in 6 1-3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks. He filled in for Lee during the left-handers previous two-month stint on the DL, but made his last three starts in the minor leagues. "Steady, gave us a chance to win," Sandberg said. "He doesnt get rattled out there. He hangs in there." Brad Peacock (3-8) struggled in his first big-league start since being sent to the minors to work on his fastball command. He allowed eight runs and seven hits in five innings, and lost his third straight start. The right-hander had an 18.00 ERA in his previous two starts with the Astros, which landed him in Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Phillies jumped on Peacock in the first inning for five runs and four hits, highlighted by Howards two-run double. Buchanan drove in the final run of the frame with his first major-league hit in his 18th at-bat. "I couldnt get into a groove," Peacock said. "I was probably working a little too quick. I was a little amped up." Utleys homer in the fourth gave Philadelphia an 8-2 lead. "It was a bad pitch to Utley, but after that I felt great," Peacock said. "But the numbers are the numbers." Houston scored in the first inning on Jon Singletons RBI groundout, in the fourth on Jake Marisnicks sacrifice fly, and in the seventh on Jose Altuves groundout. Altuve had two hits with an RBI, giving him his major league-leading 48th multi-hit game. UP NEXT Astros right-hander Colin McHugh (4-9, 3.32) faces Phillies right-hander Roberto Hernandez (6-8, 3.87) as the teams wrap up their three-game set on Thursday night. Hernandez will be trying for his third straight win after allowing just two earned runs in 15 innings over his last two starts. Philadelphia 76ers Store. McHugh, who will be making his first career start against the Phillies, entered Wednesday ranked fifth in the AL in opponents batting average (.203) and second in strikeouts per nine innings (10.14). TRAINERS ROOM Phillies: Lees season appears to be over. Although no announcement on his status has been made, Lees locker in the clubhouse has been cleaned out. Lee was making his second start last Thursday after a two-month stint on the DL when he was hurt again. Astros: Rookie outfielder George Springer, on the DL since July 20 with a strained quad, played in his third rehab game with Quad Cities on Wednesday night. Springer doubled but was lifted after feeling a pull, Houston manager Bo Porter said. The AL Rookie of the Month in May is batting .231 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs in 78 games with Houston. Before Wednesdays game, Springer was on pace for a possible return on Thursday although Fridays home game against Texas is more likely. OUT FROM HIS KNEES Second-base umpire Jeff Nelson made an out call from his knees in the first inning after falling while trying to get in position when Buchanan slid into second. Sandberg challenged Nelsons decision but the call stood after a 3-minute, 12-second replay delay. Buchanan thought he was safe but said, "I think for now Im going to stay on first base." DANCING WITH THE PHANATIC Third-base umpire Laz Diaz showed off his dancing skills during a skit with the Phillie Phanatic following the fifth inning. Dressed in a red and black costume with Spanish music blaring, the Phanatic danced Salsa style in front of Diaz. Diaz at first made no expression and twice turned away from the Philadelphia mascot before getting in on the dance toward the end of what seemed to be an unscripted act. FOLTYNEWICZ WORKS OUT OF JAM Astros reliever Mike Foltynewicz worked out of a jam in the seventh inning in his second major league appearance. The right-hander allowed three straight hits to start the frame, capped by Byrds RBI single, before getting Grady Sizemore to ground into a double play and Wil Nieves to strike out swinging. It was the first career run allowed for Foltynewicz, who pitched 2-3 scoreless innings in his big-league debut on Saturday. Foltynewicz came back out for the eighth and gave up another run when Revere tripled and scored on a wild pitch.
