The first memory that comes to my mind when he wore that number is… — Devils of United (@DevilsOfUnited) In comparison, Martial has only played 45 times as a central striker, bagging 11 goals and seven assists in those appearances.That averages out to a goal or assist every 152.1 minutes, which is still surprisingly less prolific than his record from the left wing.However, while analysing United’s victory over Chelsea for Sky Sports, both Jose Mourinho and Gary Neville commented on why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may prefer to use Martial as a centre-forward – namely the forward’s reluctance to contribute defensively.“I know that Martial likes to play as a No.9, sometimes I think for the right reasons, sometimes I think for the wrong reasons, but I know he likes to play as a No.9,” Mourinho said.“Of course, [Marcus] Rashford does too, but he adapts perfectly on the left side because he has more responsibility and a high working rate, coping with the progression of a possible full-back.”Neville echoed those sentiments in commentary but did offer encouragement post-match following a positive display.“Martial has not realised his potential on the left side for three or four years and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is probably thinking he wants to play centre-forward, he’s a good finisher, I have to give him that chance,” he said.“You could argue it’s to the detriment of Rashford, but if he can get his head around playing on the left and be comfortable and Martial can be a centre-forward then it’s worth giving him that chance.“At Manchester United when there’s speculation around Martial leaving there’s been a big fear that he will go to another club and become one of the best players in the world because he has got that much talent.“I think now is the time for Martial to deliver it. For him to cement a place in the team, Martial needs to prove himself to be either an elite-level striker or winger, but which one suits him best?The Dutch manager reportedly asked Martial what his preferred position was, replying to him by saying that he thinks that he can play in many positions:“He [van Gaal] asked me my preferred position. Sure, he has the skills and technique to charge into the box, take on defenders and then shoot, but a winger should also be looking to get the ball airborne and cross it in; especially if their full-back rarely comes up past them on the pitch to get crosses in.Anthony Martial having to change his position from being a striker to being a part-time winger to being full-time winger has stinted his advancement as a clinical striker, and he still lacks key skills to being rated as a decent winger.As is the way with all young footballers, Martial needs consistent first-team football to be able to develop into the player that he has the potential to become. That averages out to a goal or assist every 152.1 minutes, which is still surprisingly less prolific than his record from the left wing. He is great when he’s running at the back line, but when standing off of them to receive the ball, he often finds himself dispossessed. Deschamps has confirmed this. The Dutch manager reportedly asked Martial what his preferred position was, replying to him by saying that he thinks that he can play in … People say Martial doesn't play on the right, he either plays on the left wing or as a CF. Now, this could also be down to the very differing schemes implemented by the two managers that he’s played under in as many years, but you can see that he hasn’t progressed significantly as either a striker or a winger during his time with Manchester United.Anthony Martial possesses blistering pace, incredible dribbling ability, quick feet that allow for skilful manoeuvres to evade defenders, and a cold – almost cruel – shot that beats many goalkeepers by nestling just past their coverage.However, when playing as a striker, he appears to struggle to manage the opposing defenders.
