​Man Utd manager Solskjaer defends Martial: Class is permanent...

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has once again defended striker Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman came off in the second half against West Bromwich Albion, and was replaced by the much livelier Mason Greenwood.

United drew 1-1 and Martial again put in a listless display for much of the game.

Asked by reporters about Martial's form, Solskjaer replied: "Oh no, I know Anthony is working hard to get back to where he was.

"His attitude is very good.

"Form is sometimes temporary but class is permanent and the kid has got class."
