# Manchester United: Fans hammer Anthony Martial vs West Ham

**Lots of Manchester United fans have been hammering Anthony Martial for his very poor display versus West Ham United in the Premier League.**

Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team won 3-1 away at the London Stadium in the end, thanks to goals from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford to cancel out the opener from Tomas Soucek, the performance of the France international was far from flattering for members of the Old Trafford faithful.

He lost possession of the ball no fewer than 10 times in the game, and also only won two out of his nine duels ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/west-ham-united-manchester-united/KM)).

He also failed to make a successful dribble, key pass accurate cross or long ball, and only managed a mere 36 touches of the ball in total ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/west-ham-united-manchester-united/KM)).

If he continues performances like this one, then Solskjaer may have to seriously think about dropping the 25 year-old in the near future.

### Manchester United fan reaction to Martial display

These Red Devils hammered him on Twitter, with one Man United supporter even labelling the striker as ‘shocking’:

> Martial has lost the ball close or in the centre more than he has passed in this game. Greenwood and wan bissaka is a death trap.

> Martial is soooo bad. How far has he walked today? Because it’s not a question about how far he has run…

> Hundreds of million on show for Man Utd, And this is what they have to offer. Zero midfield, nothing going forward and if this was a baby race, Martial would still finish last. Shocking 1st half
