Manchester United fans are getting excited after news surrounding Anthony Martial position in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI for next season emerged.
According to The Daily Mail, the 23-year-old will be used in a more central role next term if Romelu Lukaku is sold to Internazionale.

The news follows reports of a rejected £54m bid from Inter for Lukaku, who is said to want to link up with Antonio Conte in Italy.
Manchester United are said to have given Inter a cut-off date after which they will block any sale of the Belgian, due to the early closure of the transfer window in England in comparison to Italy.
Martial endured a mixed campaign last season, contributing 15 goals in all competitions as well as being part of a reported dressing room spat with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Fans are excited after the revelation of a new position for Martial, with some labelling the France international as the ‘best finisher’ at the club.
Here is a selection of tweets after the reports about Martial:
Our best finisher by far

Would love if that happened he’s the best finisher we have and he should be on penalties as well

Just give him his no:9 back when Lukaku leaves.
