‘He comes with baggage’ – Anthony Martial blasted by Sevilla boss after just one game who says ‘he has to give more’

, ‘He comes with baggage’ – Anthony Martial blasted by Sevilla boss after just one game who says ‘he has to give more’

ANTHONY MARTIAL has been told he ‘has to give more’ by his new Sevilla boss following his innocuous debut against Osasuna.

The French striker had a public fall-out with Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick last month after claims he refused to be a sub against Aston Villa.

Julen Lopetegui did not mince his words after his team were held at Osasuna

The 26-year-old denied those allegations on social media and eventually forced through his switch to the LaLiga side.

Martial was desperate to hit the ground running for his new side last night as they looked to close the gap on leaders Real Madrid.

But he failed to shine as he and his new team-mates endured a difficult evening as Sevilla blew the chance of victory by missing a stoppage-time penalty in the stalemate.

The ex-Monaco forward was subbed off on 76 minutes after making little impact, and manager Julen Lopetegui left him in no doubt afterwards that he expects much more.

Refusing to mince his words, the Spaniard said: “He has to give us more. It was his first game, it’s not easy to adapt.

“He comes with a bit of baggage because he’s hardly played. Bit by bit he has to get up to speed.”

Martial was handed his first start for FOUR MONTHS but looked rusty throughout before he was taken off with 14 minutes left to play.

Sevilla’s big moment to win arrived in additional time – only for Ivan Rakitic to squander the golden opportunity from 12 yards.

The result left them three points behind Madrid, who have a game in hand.

Martial, who failed to make an impact throughout his bow, will be hoping for better luck on his home debut.

Sevilla welcome Elche to Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on Friday.
