Martial was never a fox in box proacher striker like ruud van nisterooy or cavani and never going to be but he still can score 15-20 goals a season but not 30,40 goals.
People needs to accept he like firmino,benzema false 9 at times tactical intelligence and likes to get ball to their feet and progress the ball make something happen.

I agree martial work rate needs improve but he would have been great for the 4222 ralf wanted with him upront with ronaldo or cavani.
Rashford /bruno has a great understanding with martial.
Sancho also would be great with him i saw it in match against west ham in league cup a few 1,2 between eachouter despite we loss.
Ronaldo,rashford,greenwood want to score goal any opportunies they see the shooting on site.
Martial and sancho is a must to help balance in attack and help bruno/pogba creating.cavani great coming of the bench than he starts.
unfortunately we dont have a prime ronaldo who Plays left foward before now
thats problem he would have been simple like.
