Having started the campaign in fine fettle with two goals and an assist in Manchester United’s first three Premier League games of the season, Anthony Martial endured some wretched luck by suffering a hamstring injury.
It kept him out for the best part of a couple of months, and having returned in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool, he has been given the number nine role by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But whilst he has shown flashes of what he can do since his injury comeback – his goal against Partizan Belgrade at Old Trafford was something special – he has struggled to find consistency in front of goal.

He has found the back of the net just once in his last six games in the top-flight, and he drew yet another blank against Everton on Sunday afternoon. And as per Sofascore, he produced a virtually anonymous display, not having a single shot on target, and winning just three of his eight total duels. After watching his performance, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their frustrations with the France international.
A few fans were very critical of his laziness, claiming that his work-rate isn’t up to scratch, with one supporter in particular also taking aim at his poor attitude.
Consistency appears to be the big question mark surrounding Martial, and on the evidence of his performance against Everton, it’s something that is still significantly plaguing him. With the emergence of Mason Greenwood – scorer of the equaliser against the Toffees from off the bench – the Frenchman has more competition for his place up front now.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans have slammed this star after his performance against Everton.
