Anthony Martial<\/strong><\/p>\n Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has criticised Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the way he was treated during their managerial spells.<\/p>\n The France international was United\u2019s top scorer during the 2015-16 campaign but, when Mourinho became United manager the following season, the forward struggled for regular minutes as a starter.<\/p>\n Although United won two major trophies in Mourinho\u2019s debut season, Martial blamed the Portuguese for missing out on a place at the 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n \u201cIt started with the story of the shirt number,\u201d he told France Football as quoted by RMC Sport. \u201cDuring the holidays, he sent me a message asking me if I would change to No. 11, explaining that it was great because it was the number of the legend Ryan Giggs. I told him that I had the greatest respect for Giggs but that I would prefer to keep my No. 9. And when I go back to the club, I see my No. 11 shirt, the story didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n \u201cHe disrespected me, directly. He talked about me in the press, little phrases, a bit like he had done with Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. In the [2017-18] season, I was the team\u2019s top scorer in the first half of the season, he brought in Alexis Sanchez and then I didn\u2019t play much. It was the World Cup season as well, and it cost me a lot at the end, especially as the French team won. I should have been there.\u201d<\/p>\n Following Mourinho\u2019s dismissal in 2018, Solskjaer replaced him, and although Martial enjoyed a resurgence in form, he said he was unable to perform during the latter seasons of the Norwegian\u2019s stint.<\/p>\n \u201cThe last two seasons, I have regularly played injured,\u201d Martial added. \u201cPeople don\u2019t know that, I couldn\u2019t accelerate during the four months following the COVID season. Solskjaer tells me that he needs me, so I play.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Anthony Martial Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has criticised Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the way he was treated during their managerial spells.
