“He’s (Martial) still got a lot to learn goalscoring wise”.
Scholes did not hold back in his scathing assessment of 19-year-old Martial after he claimed the striker was “not bothered” by whether or not he scores for United. As a centre forward, all you live for is scoring goals, all you want to do is score goals.
The former England man also pointed out that there is no use in being good defensively if they can’t take advantage and score goals at the other end. It is right to make criticism – and Scholes made the right criticism – but it will improve his mind.
“I think his impact for us was incredible”, Ranieri said.
