Anthony Martial is determined to score more goals and live up to expectations, now that he's regained Manchester United's No.9 shirt.
Following Romelu Lukaku's transfer to Inter Milan, the 23-year-old moved from No.11 to return to the No.9 jersey he wore when he first arrived at the club in 2015.
"Since I was a young kid, I have always played as a striker but, then again, I'm fine with playing more out wide as it's a position that I enjoy playing," Anthony said in an exclusive interview.
Anthony Martial says, "Now I've taken the number nine shirt back once again, all Ole has said to me is that I have a lot of responsibility and I have to score goals, so that's what I'm trying to do. But it's a real pleasure to find myself back in that more central role so I hope I can really help the team from there and go on to score plenty of goals. We work on that a lot in training and I think it's improving all the time.”
Next in Anthony's sights is the trip to Wolves as he eyes a first goal against the Midlands outfit, who beat United twice at Molineux last term in the Premier League and Emirates FA Cup – something the former Monaco man is keen to put right on Monday night.
"I think that, as a team, they [Wolves] fought really hard and were always in your face," Martial added. "As soon as you got the ball at your feet, they were always at you, trying to win the ball back again. There were always one or two players on you, jostling you for the ball. I think that style worked for them in those two games, but now it’s down to us to find a solution so we can avoid the same kind of performance as last year."
