TIM SHERWOOD has brutally hit out at Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.
The former Tottenham manager slammed the Red Devils ace and declared Erik ten Hag desperately needs to buy a striker in the summer.
In a scathing attack on Martial, Sherwood incredibly fumed “he just annoys me looking at him, his miserable face.”
The United forward has struggled with a number of injuries this season, starting just seven Premier League games.
He was also forced off during the Europa League defeat to Sevilla in midweek after picking up a fresh knock.
While Sherwood believes Martial has the ability to be a star, the ex-Prem manager hit out at the Frenchman’s attitude.

He blasted on Sky Sports: “They’re crying out for a centre-forward Jeff [Stelling], crying out for it.
“Martial drives me mad. If I was a manager. He just annoys me looking at him, his miserable face.
“He don’t want to run around. You’re playing for the biggest club in the world, I’ve just said it, just enjoy it.
“You’re back in the team, you’ve got the ability, but you’re not fulfilling your ability.”

Sherwood went on to praise January loan signing Wout Weghorst for his work rate, but said it’s “unbelievable” that the Dutch striker is playing for United.
He said: “And Weghorst is completely different. [He] wants to be there, [he’s] loving the fact that he’s got an opportunity.
“It’s unbelievable that he should be at that football club, but he’s there and he’s relishing the chance.
“And he leaves nothing [out] on the pitch. If you could give his attitude to Martial you’ve got half a player.
“They need a centre-forward and they need one quick for next season.”
United are reportedly planning a huge summer clearout, and Martial is one of up to a possible 17 players who could leave.
Signing a striker is high on the list of priorities for boss Ten Hag in the upcoming transfer window.
Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen and Tottenham talisman Harry Kane are two marksman reportedly being monitored by the Red Devils.
