Angry Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blasts Anthony Martial's attitude

Highlights

- Manchester United's Anthony Martial's attitude has been called into question

- He was pictured seeming to lack effort in United's warm up against Chelsea

- Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has vented his anger in front of the United players

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned on  over his attitude following draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

The United manager vented his anger at Martial in front of the other players in the dressing-room after leaving the Frenchman on the bench at Old Trafford.

Fans criticised the 23-year-old winger on social media on Monday after he was filmed watching his teammates in the pre-match warm-up, holding his hands behind his back and standing with one foot on a ball while they went through a series of drills.

Martial has been complaining of a bad back but it's understood that Solskjaer was unhappy with the player's blatant lack of effort.

He decided to send on Alexis Sanchez rather than Martial as a replacement for Marcus Rashford when the striker succumbed to an existing shoulder injury in the 65th minute.

There have been concerns over Martial's attitude since he signed a new five-year contract at the end of January following a string of lack-lustre performances.

Martial covers an average distance of 8.45km per game, which means his attacking team-mates are covering much more ground than the Frenchman.

Eric Bailly is the only outfield player who has worst running statistics than Martial during the course of the current campaign.

Having been first-choice since Solskjaer took over in December in a front three alongside Rashford and Jesse Lingard, the former Monaco man is now firmly out of favour.
