Manchester United Treble winner Teddy Sheringham says Anthony Martial's form woes is a test of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's man-management.
The £60million France international has yet to score for Solskjaer's side this season after being demoted down the attacking pecking order.
"It's similar to Harry Kane and Tammy Abraham, centre-forwards need to be loved," Sheringham told the Daily Mail.
"If you're not feeling loved and appreciated, if you feel you have one chance to do well in the Carabao Cup and if you don't you're not going to get anywhere near the Premier League games, it does put pressure on you.
"Tammy has gone to Roma and Jose Mourinho has said 'go in there and if you miss chances, you're not going to be out the team straight away'.
"It gives you a relaxed time. Footballers need to be relaxed and cool in front of goal, not snapping at chances.
"When you are loved by a manager, you have that feeling. Martial obviously isn't getting that at the moment because there are other players at the club in front of him and you feel like you have to snatch chances when you can."
