Oli Gunnar Solchar, Manchester United’s English Premier League soccer rival, has confirmed that he is confident that French player Anthony Marcial will be able to regain his scoring touch.
Silchar said that the French striker gives his club “everything” whether on the field or during training, “as reported by” Reuters “.
Marcial, 24, scored 12 goals in all competitions during the current season in which he suffered injuries and scored a single goal in the last six games.
But the player faces difficulties at the scoring level, in the absence of striker Marcus Rashford, who suffers from back troubles.
Speaking of Marcial, Solchar told reporters: “He gives us everything. We asked him to play and he participated essentially in the last eight games and ran maybe 20 percent more than he did when I got here.”
He added: “We will give him more support and give him the relief he deserves. We asked him to play excessively, especially during Marcus’ injury.”
He continued, “I know he is exhausted. Despite that, he did not miss any training. He is training and ready for every match, so I am happy with it.”
Rashford scored 19 goals in all competitions before being injured, while Mason Greenwood, a graduate of the Academy, added ten goals.
United also contracted 30-year-old Nigerian striker Odeon Igalo from Shanghai Shenhua, on loan, in the last days of the winter transfer period, at the end of last month.
United are in seventh place among the twenty Premier League teams, with 35 points from 25 games, and will be a guest of London Chelsea on February 17.
