Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has challenged Anthony Martial to sharpen his skills in a bid to score more goals for Manchester United.
The 23 year old just extended his stay by another five years and is likely to be United’s main attacking threat alongside Marcus Rashford. The French international was on the verge of leaving the club in the summer but the arrival of Solskjaer has eased the proceedings and it has reflected pretty evidently as the French international has gone onto put pen to paper to a new long term contract.
Martial’s partnership with Rashford has been one of the most talked about things but the pair hasn’t really flourished so far. But in this new free flowing style, Martial has shown flashes of brilliance which could really help the Red Devils for the remaining part of the season.
Solskjaer said, “I’d like him to make a few more runs in behind. He doesn’t miss chances. He’s a fantastic finisher, so he needs to get more chances.
“I keep telling him you need to read and sniff whether there’s going to be a chance. Maybe get some scruffy goals as well.
“Him and Marcus (Rashford) score lots of ‘worldy’ goals, but those five or six extra goals that I used to do with tap-ins, by making those runs, go a long way.”
