Berbatov Supports Martial’s Non-Challancy Towards Man Utd

Former United striker Dimitar Berbatov says he has been shocked by Anthony Martial’s lack of growth at Old Trafford,having witnessed firsthabnd what the Frenchman is capable of.

The 23-year-old has had another poor form of run in the coveted red shirt, contributing just 10 goals and two assists in 26 Premier League appearances.

Martial’s placid disposition on the pitch has raised doubt from United’s supporters and football experts, with a fixed spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting line up still a long way from ensured.

The France international arrived in Manchester from Monaco four years ago, but he has since been unable to live up to his £36 million ($47m) price tag, impressing only sporadically.

Berbatov who played four seasons with Man Utd and also played for sometime alongside Martial in Monaco stated:

“That’s not a bad thing. He has not reached the level yet where I think he can be.

“As a football player, you can see straight away. You recognise straight away and this guy… he had something.

“He needs someone to say: ‘listen this is not the right way, over there is the right way if you want to be the best.”
