Shearer slams ‘frustrating’ Man Utd star for looking uninterested under Solskjaer

Alan Shearer believes Anthony Martial should lose his spot at the top of Manchester United’s attack after a series of “frustrating” performances.

Martial has scored two goals in his last nine appearances in all competitions and put in a flat performance as United drew 0-0 with Wolves on Saturday.

The Frenchman did not manage to fire off a shot during the stalemate at Old Trafford, which was the third consecutive league game in which United failed to score following Marcus Rashford’s lower back injury.

Martial has so far failed to shoulder the responsibility that has increased with Rashford’s absence, which is expected to last for another month at least.

And the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorer Shearer has been left seriously unimpressed by Martial’s efforts.

“If there is one man who sums up United’s struggles in front of goal, it is Anthony Martial,” Shearer told The Sun.

“He just looks uninterested. I never get the impression he enjoys playing football — which is something I’ve not really come across too much in the game before.

“That role isn’t just about scoring goals. You also have to bring your team-mates into the game and do plenty of running to get in behind the defenders.

“He has one good game followed by three average ones — he’s a very frustrating player to watch. I’m sure all the fans agree.
