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.
