Man Utd attacker Martial maintains France World Cup hopes

Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial says making France's World Cup squad remains a target.

Martial has struggled with injury so far this season.

But he told L'Equipe: "That's definitely a goal. In addition, given the profile of the players, I know that we can get along well, it's a football that I like, one or two touches, it combines, there are great things to achieve.

"I watch every game of Les Bleus carefully. But remaining lucid about my situation. Last season, I did not play regularly enough to claim a guaranteed place (his last call-up dates back to the Final Four of the Nations League, in October 2021).

"This is also why I have to refuel in the coming weeks, because there is something to play. I believe it. With all my might."
