Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has slammed Manchester United striker Anthony Martial’s ‘miserable face’ and admits he gets annoyed just looking at him. Martial has struggled with injuries this season but has featured more in recent weeks with Marcus Rashford ruled out. The 27-year-old Frenchman has registered seven goals and three assists across 20 games for Erik ten Hag’s team this term and there have been rumours that United may look to cash in on him in the summer.
Sherwood said: ‘Martial drives me mad. If I was a manager… He just annoys me looking at him, his miserable face. He don’t want to run. You’re playing for the biggest club in the world, just enjoy it. You’re back in the team, you’ve got ability, but you’re not fulfilling your ability.’
The former Spurs boss added that United are ‘crying out’ for a new forward in the summer transfer window and speaking more generally about the Red Devils in the wake of the Europa League exit to Sevilla, he said: ‘I think the commitment away from home is nowhere near where it is compared to when they are at Old Trafford. They (players) should realise at Man Utd, the whole world is looking at them all of the time. You have to play to a certain level and keep that consistency. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be at Man Utd. They demand that. If you’re at home, away or on neutral territory you should play for that badge.’
