MARTIAL CAN BE AS GOOD AS RONALDO
Saint-germain – United’s Champions League opponents. Solskjaer said: “I am glad he is in my team. He has contributed to so many chances, so many goals.
“He is a Manchester United player. He excites the crowd. He excites the manager. He excites his team-mates. And he is a great character around the place.
“He does have similarities to Ronaldo, of course. If he wants to be at Cristiano’s level, Anthony knows what he has to do. It is up to him. He has the talent.” Solskjaer insisted he has struck the balance between Martial racking up the goals and tracking back to help out his defence.
The Norwegian added: “He knows he needs to do some defensive work, but he has got some quality going forward.
“He is electric and his balance, his pace, everything about him is – well, when you are a full-back, you don’t want him running at you. He knows he has to defend.”
United were back in training yesterday morning as they turned their attention to tomorrow night’s big game at Old Trafford.
And the club tweeted a picture of the shirts of two of the brightest young attacking talents in Europe, Marcus Rashford and PSG’S Kylian Mbappe (above), ahead of the glamour clash.
