The front three of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are the best front three of Manchester United since the days of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
The trio were involved in pre-season fixtures including a 4-0 thriller against Liverpool. They scored eight goals amongst them in four matches that they were involved in, including a victory against Crystal Palace.
Sancho Rashford Martial combination has often been compared with the trio of Dimitar Berbatov, Rooney and Ronaldo during the days of Alex Ferguson.
Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Ronaldo won successive Premier League titles. They also clenched the UEFA Champions League after a victory against Chelsea in the final.
The absence if Martial has disturbed the in form front three of Manchester United.
Martial has missed five of the opening six matches in the Premier League, including the UEFA Europa League encounter against Real Sociedad.
The Frenchman had a solid first season at Old Trafford although he has been criticized.
According to Manchester Evening News, the 26-year-old said:
“I am not irreproachable,” Martial uttered. “When people say that I lack consistency, it’s true. When I have my place, it often goes well, but when I’ve been used less, it’s It is true that my performance has not been the same”
“It’s a vicious circle: I’m less efficient, because I play less and therefore I play even less. When it’s like that, I can sometimes drop out a bit. A player like [Edinson] Cavani, he’s at 3000% even when given few minutes.”
When he responded on the criticism about his body language, the Frenchman added:
“Basically, I have to display my disappointment after a missed opportunity so people say: ‘Ah, he doesn’t really care’. I’ll tell you simply: I’m a footballer, not an actor.
“A lot of people think you have to be a comedian and I see players who show their rage so that the public and the media think they are motivated. All the media circus does not interest me. I cannot change to please others.”
He is expected to return in the following fixture against Sheriff in the UEFA Europa League encounter.
