Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Anthony Martial to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo’s footsteps and establish himself as one of the world’s best with Manchester United.
His words, “He’s a fantastic finisher, great ability, he’s young, he’s intelligent, he knows his football.
“He knows that I’d like him to do a couple more runs in behind, but I’ve not seen many players with the quick feet and the skills in the last third as he has so we’re going to build his career and hopefully he’ll grab the chance with both hands.”
United’s caretaker coach also highlighted the example of former team-mate Ronaldo, who he saw grow from a raw teenager to become one of the best around.
He said, “Well, of course, I speak about my experience at this club, what he can achieve at this club because I think I can achieve a lot,”
“I’ve been here for 15 years, coach, player, now manager and I know how much this club can give to your career and what you can give to the club.
“I’m here to help the club and I’m just being honest with him that for me this was the best place to be, I made my career here, it was easy to sell the club to Anthony, but he’s been here for many years, so he knows what we’re capable of.”
