Man Utd boss Solskjaer defends Martial form: He'll come good

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is firmly behind Anthony Martial.

The centre-forward is not having the best of seasons, especially compared to his form last term.

Martial was listless and lethargic as the Red Devils succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Sheffield United at Old Trafford.

But Solskjaer has faith in the Frenchman to come good this season.

Asked about Martial, he told reporters: "Well, I think the whole team will probably get criticism tonight, and myself as well. I don't think Anthony is exempt from that.

"We all should be criticised because we didn't perform.

"I know Anto, he's been working really hard in training, working on his finishing, working on his movement, so I've got no doubts that he will come good."
