Paul Scholes said Anthony Martial “doesn’t look bothered if he scores a goal” after Manchester United drew a blank at home to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
The disappointing result at Old Trafford means that United need to win away at Wolfsburg in their final match to be sure of reaching the last-16 of the competition.
Scholes renewed his criticism of manager Louis van Gaal’s style
after the match, but also made a pointed comment about Martial, 19, who
joined the club from Monaco in the summer in a deal which could be worth as much as £58 million.
Martial scored four goals in his first for matches for United
but only has one in 11 since then, and Scholes says the club should
consider going out and buying a proper centre-forward.
“Attacking wise they don’t look a threat, they don’t look good
enough, they don’t look like they’re going to go and score goals,” said
Scholes.
“Martial for me, he’s still got a lot to prove goalscoring wise. He isn’t a centre-forward like you two [Michael Owen and Gary Lineker] were, who live for goals. He’s a player who likes to come outside the box and drift to the left wing.
“He doesn’t look bothered if he misses a chance. He doesn’t look
bothered if he scores a goal. As a centre-forward, all you live for is
scoring goals.
“All you want to do is score goals, and he doesn’t look that
type of player to me, and maybe they need to go into the transfer market
in January for one of them.”
