Why Anthony Martial Performed Poorly Against Brighton

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has claimed that Anthony Martial performed poorly due to lack of supply from Paul Pogba during their loss against Brighton.

The Frenchman was tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer, following reports that the winger is ready to leave the club due to his lack of chances under Jose Mourinho.

The United team performed poorly against the Brigton, as Martial was withdrawn after 60 minutes as they fought to get back into the game.

The young winger replaced injured Alexis Sanchez in the first eleven at Amex stadium, but could not make an impact and Scholes believes Paul Pogba should have him more supply during the game.

Following United 3-2 defeat in hands of Brighton, Scholes told Optus Sport that Pogba was not measuring his passes and should have done more when the team was 3-1 down, and could not control the game from the midfield to bring in his attackers.

Pogba has come under intense criticisms from the Old Trafford faithfuls due to his lacklustre performances but was on show as they thumped Leicester City in their opening game as the French midfielder captained the team amid speculations of a strained relationship with Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has also come out to debunk talks about the bitter feud between both of them, claiming he would not have asked for more from Pogba.
