Anthony Martial

He responded to coaches who challenged him, which is very important.

We've heard from Andaheira in his recent interview with Rio Ferdinand that a player like Anthony Martial, who we all thought in 2015 was going to be a future Ballon d'Or.

I mean, he won the Golden Ball.

As a kid.

And unfortunately, he couldn't live up to expectations to the point where now he's clubless.

His last spell was in Mexico, where he would even struggle to play.

Now, under Herrera's court was, Marcus, sorry, Anthony Martial didn't respond well whenever coaches criticized him.

He thought he was beyond reproach.

I

don't love, like, I loved Anthony Martial.

I loved Marcus Rashford.

I don't even love Marcus Rashford anymore.

We owe a lot of man apologies from Daley Blind to Eric Bailly to Paul Pogba.

to Nemanja Matic, to Jesse Lingard, to Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

Basically, really, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba, those three are owed so much apologies because, yes, the shirt is heavy, but them lot actually carried it.

Because if you think about what the level of squad that we've had, the level of coaching staff, the level of ability to adapt.

What these young men will go into war with, yeah? They'll go into modern warfare where men have drones and that with spoons, bro.

And we drew that game 1-1.

The goal was scored by Anthony Martial.

And those were the games we played in Europe on this day in 2009 and 2015.

United would kill for a 1-0 win tonight in Como.

There isn't really anyone in that market that can come in and bring them the Liga experience without it costing them.

You know, they did flirt with getting Anthony Martial, which I think, you know, would have been a bit, hmm.

Wilfred Zaha as well.

But I very much put those two at this moment in time as in the mercenary free agent.

He has been the solution a lot of times.

Just you know what? Another thing when I was looking at the, your time there, you were there when the emergence of, uh, Marcus Rashford and, and Anthony Martial.

How exciting was it for you to be a part of and seeing these two young guys come through, and the hope they must have given you when you first saw them?

I'm going to, I'm going to tell you something that I have never said, but with Juan, we used to discuss who was better.

It's, it's crazy you say that because I spoke to Juan, uh, Juan Mata, who you mentioned before-

Yeah

... and Michael Carrick about Bo- about, um, Anthony Martial, and they both said this guy, if he wanted to, he could be the Ballon d'Or winner.

This guy, he's that good.
