The Unwitting Supersub - Martial Hoping Not To Be The Next Solskjaer At Man Utd
Anthony Martial is not the first Manchester United player to get stuck with the supersub tag and he won’t be the last. The Frenchman has yet to score as a starter in the Premier League this season but has netted four times in seven appearances coming off the bench, so it is easy to see why Jose Mourinho has been happy enough keeping the 21-year-old in reserve so far.
With Marcus Rashford winning further plaudits for his performances in the same left-sided attacking role in which Martial has excelled since arriving at Old Trafford, circumstance has ensured that the former Monaco youngster has been left feeding off scraps in the first three months of the campaign.
But Martial admitted during the international break that he is not entirely happy in the role of substitute, saying that – like any hungry young player – he would much prefer to be starting games regularly.
