Tom Heaton has named Anthony Martial as the best finisher in Manchester United's squad.
While he has managed 88 goals in 299 games for United, fans would have hoped for more from the France international – who was touted as a potential futureInjuries have hampered his time at Old Trafford, with the striker missing an astonishing 79 games since joining United.He was an unused substitute in United's win over Wolves in their opening game of the new Premier League season before making a late cameo in the club's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham last time out.
Martial has been linked with a move away from United this summer, following the signing of fellow strikerBut the Frenchman could now be kept as cover, after United opted against bringing Mason Greenwood back into the first-team squad.United goalkeeper Heaton believes Martial can still play a role for, naming him as the best finisher in the squad – ahead of the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony.
"For me it would probably be Anthony Martial: he can bend it, he can whip it, he can go with power, he can lift it over you," Heaton told"He's got that composure, that sort of calmness in front of goal that makes it difficult for a goalkeeper."[As a goalkeeper] you very often want people to take a shot early or to force them into something but with Anthony it's very difficult to affect him, so when he's through on goal it usually ends up in the net.
