Souness: Man Utd have no chance if they're relying on Martial | OneFootball

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has taken aim at Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial.

Martial is currently out injured and missed his side's opening weekend loss to Brighton.

Souness told talkSPORT: "In United's case, they've not really recruited any game changers.

"When you are talking about 'we are going to miss Martial', how many opportunities is that young man going to get to be a Manchester United player?

"He's proven already to me he's not for Man United. He can't deal with the pressure of playing at Man United."

He continued: "Man United are one of the biggest clubs in the world. They are in a cup final every time they go out and play a game of football.

"As Liverpool are, as Chelsea are as Man City are now. Welcome to the big league."

The former Liverpool manager compared Martial to his countryman Paul Pogba, suggesting both players don't always play to the best of their abilities.

"It's a bit like Pogba," he said. "I see both of them and I see players in them and qualities that few players possess.

"But it's on their terms and they pick and choose when they use it.

"When you play for a big club you cannot be like that. When you are at a big club you play in a cup final every week.

"These players are not up for that, they're not up for the fight. There's no good being a great player in training or being a great player once every six or seven games.

"You're at a big club because you want to win things and want to be challenging all the time. In basic terms, they are dodgy.

"They are not people you can rely on, end of.

"I don't think you can rely on Martial any more, not that you ever could. He's been far too hit or miss."
