Anthony Martial has hit out at former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over his treatment. The Norwegian has been accused of not allowing Martial to rest while he was injured, and playing him nevertheless.
The Frenchman spent the latter half of last season on loan at Sevilla, and is now back at Manchester United. However, he is still out on the sidelines with an issue. But, he is part of Erik Ten Hag’s plans for the season when he returns to full fitness.
Anthony Martial hits back at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer due to injury treatment
“The last two seasons, I have regularly played injured. People don’t know that I couldn’t accelerate during the four months following the Covid season. Solskjær tells me that he needs me, so I play,” Anthony Martial told France Football.
“Given my game, if I can’t accelerate, it becomes very complicated.”
“And I get criticised — the coach never bothered to tell the media. Obviously, I end up getting injured for good and when I come back, finished, I don’t play anymore.”
“I took it very badly. I had a feeling of injustice.”
“You are asked to sacrifice yourself for the team, and behind you are dismissed.”
“For me, it’s almost treachery. That’s all I hate. I can be blamed, but not for being fake.”
