Gary Neville has aired his concerns over Anthony Martial’s role in the Manchester United team.
It follows speculation that the France international is wanted by Arsenal.
The Daily Star reported back in January that Arsenal enquired to United over Martial’s availability during talks over Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean eventually moved to Old Trafford in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Still, Martial has started 16 league games this season, scoring nine and assisting five. However, following Sanchez’s arrival Neville is unsure how the 22 year-old can be accommodated alongside the rest of Jose Mourinho’s attacking talent.
‘The problem for Jose Mourinho at the moment is how you get Romelu Lukaku, Rashford, Martial and Sanchez into a front combination thanks works together,’ Neville told Goal.
Gary Neville has questioned Martial’s role in the United side
‘That’s the big question at the moment, who plays on the right? Martial’s been out there, we’ve seen Sanchez out there in a couple of games, and neither of them are ideal out there.
‘They’d all probably prefer to play centre forward, Rashford, Martial, Sanchez and obviously Lukaku. So at the moment it’s how they fit into a front three which is the most interesting thing, not which one plays. They have to show they can play together.’
Martial could fit in well at Arsenal with the club still arguably searching for a frontman to replace Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez.
