Martial speaks about the influence of his manager, Solskjaer, himself a former striker, who has been passing on his experiences of playing in the position in the interview with United's official website.
Martial believes his game should now be focused on scoring goals, and little else.
“Ole gives us forwards a lot of advice in relation to our positioning on the pitch, and we’re glad to receive it,” added the 23-year-old.
“He has a lot of knowledge to share from being a top striker himself and that will help us as forwards individually, and as we move forward as a team.
“Frankly, playing as striker, you’re not there to make blinding passes or massive runs.
“I’ve come to understand that, to score, you have to be obsessed, to be fixated on just that, scoring goals. That’s how you enjoy yourself as a striker. That’s not a choice – that’s how it has to be.”
Martial went on to discuss the players who influenced him growing up, who may not share the same views about a striker's role not involving blinding passes or massive runs!
“I would say my favourite players were the Brazilians, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho,” he said. “They were both fantastic players with beautiful movement and grace. They made their matches great to watch.
"I mostly loved Ronaldinho, because he was a player who could make you dream, with his great big smile on the pitch, with his great technical skills.
“I think that combination of great technical skills and the terrific goals he could score, it’s that which inspires people."
