Man Utd attacker Martial: Why I don't smile...

Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial knows fans question why he doesn't smile more on the pitch.

Writing for manutd.com, he explained: "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.

"(By the way, everyone says I don't smile when I'm on the pitch, but it's not deliberate! Those who know me, know that it's my usual state to be always joking around. I don't know why this isn't the case on the field – maybe it's through concentration – but I can assure you that I've always been that way, I'm always happy and off the pitch I like to think I'm a good laugh!)"
