Against Arsenal, Anthony Martial once again stunned. For the remainder of the Premier League season, he most likely won’t start as center forward for the Red Devils.

Anthony Martial’s last opportunity bar may have been there. The Frenchman had the opportunity to demonstrate to Erik ten Hag today that he deserves to remain in the running to start for the Red Devils, but he did the complete opposite.

Martial was once more defeated. Throughout his 67 minutes on the field, he was completely outplayed by both Arsenal center backs and offered little in the way of goal-scoring opportunities.

Now that Rasmus Hojlund has entered the picture—and he truly impressed—it is difficult to imagine how Martial will read the line again for United this Premier League season.
