Sherwood: Man Utd striker Martial drives me mad

Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has slammed Manchester United striker Anthony Martial.

Sherwood admits Martial's attitude infuriates him.

He told Sky Sports: "They're crying out for a centre-forward Jeff [Stelling], crying out for it.

"Martial drives me mad. If I was a manager. He just annoys me looking at him, his miserable face.

"He don't want to run around. You're playing for the biggest club in the world, I've just said it, just enjoy it.

"You're back in the team, you've got the ability, but you're not fulfilling your ability."

Sherwood went on to praise Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst.

He said: "And Weghorst is completely different. [He] wants to be there, [he's] loving the fact that he's got an opportunity.

"It's unbelievable that he should be at that football club, but he's there and he's relishing the chance.

"And he leaves nothing [out] on the pitch. If you could give his attitude to Martial you've got half a player.

"They need a centre-forward and they need one quick for next season."
