Manchester United forward Anthony Martial says he's now an out-and-out No9.

Martial revealed that he always played as a centre forward as a child and despite playing a lot of his football for United on the left flank, he wants to continue through the middle.

The Frenchman views the position as vital to his ambition to score more goals for Solskjaer's side. He's got four goals in five starts this term so far.

"These days I am very focused on my central striker role, getting my scoring stats up and helping the team that way," he said.

"That's not to say that there will be no more tricks, because tricks are all part of your learning and the passion you have when you're a football player setting out.

"You've worked hard to get where you are if you're playing here at Manchester United , and it's important not to lose that joy of playing the game because if you lose that passion, things will get a lot harder for you, but if I do a piece of skill, I want to score after it.

"When I was a kid, I always played upfront and through the centre, and I know I can give a lot to the role now at United.

"I've come to understand that to score, you have to be obsessed, to be fixated on just that, scoring goals. That's how you enjoy yourself as a striker.

"That's not a choice – that's how it has to be."
