# Manchester United: Fans not impressed with Anthony Martial during Arsenal bout

**Many Manchester United fans heavily scrutinised forward Anthony Martial after his side’s [0-0](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/jan/30/arsenal-v-man-utd-premier-league-live) draw against Arsenal on Saturday evening.**

The 25-year-old emerged as a second-half substitute in what was a quiet afternoon for both teams on the attacking front, as both defensive lines came out on top during a chilly affair in North London.

Despite being one of the club’s top earners on £250k-per-week ([Spotrac](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/payroll/)), Martial was not deemed worthy enough to start this game and failed to make an impact on the tie as a whole, proving his manager right.

[Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/arsenal-manchester-united/KR) recorded that the France international failed to win any duels, did not get any shots on target and made no successful dribbles.

With this in mind, supporters were incensed by another showing where Martial didn’t turn up, with some saying that he should be performing better, considering his weekly salary.
