Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is backing Anthony Martial to deliver his most prolific season as the French striker takes on the role of the club’s primary goalscorer following a potentially season-ending injury to Marcus Rashford.
The 24-year-old is three shy of the best return from his debut campaign with United in 2015-16 when he became the most expensive teenager in world football after arriving from Monaco for an initial fee of £36 million . “He’s confident in front of goal now,” Solskjaer said of Martial, who also scored a superb header in the 2-0 away defeat of Chelsea in the Premier League on Monday.
Martial almost added a second before half-time in sodden conditions in Bruges with a curling 20-yard strike that Simon Mignolet tipped on to the post, but it wasn’t until the late introduction of January signing Bruno Fernandes that United really took control.“I didn’t really want to play him, but we had to settle down and create chances. We were close to winning and he’s done something for everyone, coming in.
