Anthony Martial insists that his ideal position at Manchester United is as a central striker as opposed to playing out wide.

Anthony Martial has said that his ideal position at Manchester United is as a central striker as opposed to playing out wide.

The Frenchman has spent most of his Old Trafford career playing on the left-hand side of attack under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision to use Martial as a number nine this term has paid off, with the 22-year-old netting four goals in five starts across all competitions.

Speaking in an interview with the club's official website, Martial said: "I am very focused on my central striker role, getting my scoring stats up and helping the team that way.

"That's not to say that there will be no more tricks, because tricks are all part of your learning and the passion you have when you're a football player setting out.

"You've worked hard to get where you are if you're playing here at Manchester United, and it's important not to lose that joy of playing the game because if you lose that passion, things will get a lot harder for you, but if I do a piece of skill, I want to score after it."

Martial has recently returned from a thigh injury that has kept him out since United's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in August.

The forward returned in perfect fashion against Norwich City, rounding off a 3-1 victory with a chip finish past Tim Krul.
