The most expensive teenager in the history of football, Anthony Martial’s Manchester United career has been a pretty up and down one so far. This is his second season at Old Trafford but the Frenchman has not been able to make much improvement over his maiden campaign and the key reason behind that is the physicality of Premier League football. A player like him needs space to operate but he hardly gets that kind of space in the English game.
Martial is a player with an enormous amount of potential but his style of play is more apt for La Liga than the Premier League. The French international can play either as a number nine or a left-sided wide forward and his biggest assets are his pace, close control and ability to cut in from the wide areas. He can be a superstar in the Premier League in the future but his journey to excellence would be much smoother in La Liga.

About the author
Snehanjan Banerjee
Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
