Good Evolution
Scholes considers Solskjaer’s decision to shift Martial’s position more to the middle of a sweet fruit.
He assessed the striker now really showed a real threat every time he faced the opponent’s defensive line.
“I used to wonder if he was the number nine player or was he a wide player? But it turns out that he is becoming the number nine player from match to match.”

Don’t be stopped
Scholes is also pleased to see Martial’s evolution in the MU squad. He believes that the defender will now find it increasingly difficult to stop the 24-year-old striker.

“Now the game is more complete, where he can pass opponents, he can score goals, and he has all the attributes you want in a striker.” he said.
