Thierry Henry on Martial

No International duty call
Although he’s been giving eye-catching performances at his club, he couldn't find a permanent room for the France international team.
Players like Kylian Mbappe has been giving him a fierce competition for his selection in the international team squad. Mbappe is an another prodigy from France who plays for the club, Paris-Saint Germain. Both youth players are top players, so it’s dilemma sometimes for the international team’s manager.
France currently has so many top players who've been making it tough for the players like Martial to establish their legs in the international squad. However, everyone knows that he’s capable of breaking into the international team and one day he will feature in his country’s international team.
Hunting glories at Old Trafford
Mourinho barely gave him time to play last season. He had a chance in the previous summer transfer window to leave Old Trafford, but he decided to stay and fight for his position, and here he is, winning millions of hearts at Manchester United.
Manchester United is in the hunt for their 21st Premier League trophy. United couldn’t win the Premier League after the departure of their former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. This season, fans are sure that Jose can claim their 21st Premier League trophy with the help of players like Martial.
