Ex-Spurs coach slams Martial: 'He just annoys me'

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has launched a crazy attack on Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

The crticism arises after the Red Devils crashed out of the UEFA Europa League following the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sevilla on Thursday evening.

The French striker limped off in the second half, putting his status for the FA Cup semi-final in doubt as they take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the semi-final.

Sherwood, who won the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers, has been critical of Martial's work off the ball.

"They're crying out for a centre-forward Jeff [Stelling], crying out for it.

"Martial drives me mad. If I was a manager. He just annoys me looking at him, his miserable face.

"He don't want to run around. You're playing for the biggest club in the world, I've just said it, just enjoy it.

"You're back in the team, you've got the ability, but you're not fulfilling your ability."

Sherwood then praised on-loan striker Wout Weghorst, who has only scored two goals in 20 appearances for United.

"And Weghorst is completely different. [He] wants to be there, [he's] loving the fact that he's got an opportunity.

"It's unbelievable that he should be at that football club, but he's there and he's relishing the chance and he leaves nothing [out] on the pitch. If you could give his attitude to Martial you've got half a player.

"They need a centre-forward and they need one quick for next season."
