Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has picked out an odd reason to criticise Anthony Martial.

The French forward has been besieged by injury issues this term, as he has barely featured for United.

Now back to full fitness, Martial scored the first goal in a 2-0 win over Wolves on a sunny day in Manchester at the weekend.

“He [Weghorst] has everything about him that a player like Anthony Martial doesn't," Parker told Soccernews.

"Martial comes out and wears gloves. I'm not saying that we are the warmest country in the world but come on… We are in May.

“If you walked on the street with gloves now, people would look at you oddly.

“Him wearing gloves should be an indication that there is something wrong with him.

“His performances fit someone who would wear gloves in May on a football pitch.

“It doesn't make any sense, so Erik ten Hag brought in Weghorst to get an honest player and a die for the cause and not someone who is going to tiptoe."
