Anthony Martial reveals what he's working on in Manchester United training

Manchester United winger Anthony Martial has revealed his main aim in training is to improve his goal-scoring skills after getting central-striking role for the club. The Red Devils' boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided not to bring anyone as a replacement to Romelu Lukaku in summer. Instead he put his faith in Martial along with Marcus Rashford and the club youngster Mason Greenwood. Martial had to miss nine games of the season because of his thigh injury. However, his return became good news for Untied. He scored in the club's 3 - 1 win over Norwich City. The 23-year-old confirmed he wants to score more goals for the Red Devils. That is the top aim of the present. He told United's official website:"Now, it’s all about scoring goals for me. That’s my number one aim. It has to be. When we’re training, we have some time for skills as well. Anyone can use additional time after the end of any training session to try out whatever he likes. You can always make time to do something you want to try, but for me it has to be about scoring goals now." Martial revealed he always played in centre-forward position in childhood and though he plays a lot of his games on the left flank for United, he wants to stay in the middle. "These days I am very focused on my central striker role, getting my scoring stats up and helping the team that way. That’s not to say that there will be no more tricks, because tricks are all part of your learning and the passion you have when you’re a football player setting out. You’ve worked hard to get where you are if you’re playing here at Manchester United , and it’s important not to lose that joy of playing the game because if you lose that passion, things will get a lot harder for you, but if I do a piece of skill, I want to score after it. When I was a kid, I always played upfront and through the centre, and I know I can give a lot to the role now at United. I’ve come to understand that to score, you have to be obsessed, to be fixated on just that, scoring goals. That’s how you enjoy yourself as a striker. That’s not a choice – that’s how it has to be," he added.
