Manchester United legend Gary Neville has totally slammed United striker Anthony Martial.
Signed as a highly rated teenager for a huge fee, Martial has had only one remarkable season as a Manchester United player.
Gary Neville has said he’s not harsh with his assessment, but believes that Martial isn’t worth the hype, and should no longer be at the club.
“Sometimes I ask myself the question, when you walk away from a broadcast like Sunday thinking, ‘are we being too harsh?’,” Gary Neville said.
“But when you hear that stat that a guy [Martial] has been at the club nine years, a goalscorer that cost £50 million, £60m, £70m, has scored basically 89 goals in nine years and we still can’t get him out the club, I don’t think we are being too harsh. I don’t think we’re being harsh enough.
“The failings of the football department and recruitment is just absolutely incredible. They’re human beings at the end of the day and no one wants to go on the pitch, play badly and not achieve their standards. Nobody wants to be injured.
“So I accept all those factors but the reality is there is no way he should still be leading the line at Man United in any competition, even the Carabao Cup. It’s just where the club is at the moment, they don’t have a centre forward apart from Hojlund who I think has real promise but he needs experience alongside him.”
