With two assists and a man of the match display in Manchester United's FA Cup 1-3 win at Derby County, Marouane Fellaini, who himself has been criticized for his performances this season, suggested that Anthony Martial has still a lot of work to do in order to become a Barclays Premier League great.
Fellaini's point of view
Playing in thePremier League since 2008, the former-Everton man offered Martial his advice based on his experience.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Belgian international thinks that Martial "can be a good player, but he must improve". The French international has recorded five goals and two assists in the league so far this season as Fellaini thinks that "Anthony has a lot of quality; he is quick, a good dribbler and always dangerous. He is young and has to keep going, learn every day and he will be a good player."
Fellaini's concern is for the coming seasons
Anthony Martial has introduced himself well in the Premier League this season, as the man himself has recorded more successful take ons (52) than club captain Wayne Rooney (11) but Fellaini's main concern is the Frenchman's performances for the coming seasons. The Belgian international thinks that Martial "must train hard and keep going as next season will be more difficult because the Premier League will know him. But he has the quality to be a success."
In an interview after the match, Louis van Gaal provided his own feedback on Martial's performance describing that in the "first 20 minutes he was very bad" but "after that first 20 minutes he was fantastic".
Manchester United host Stoke City in a Barclays Premier League match next Saturday, hoping to continue in the same improved team performance provided in the FA Cup display against Derby County.
