With no Premier League games to capture the football public's attention this weekend, many Manchester United fans indulged in another favourite pastime instead: social media revisionism.

They were helped by Anthony Martial, whose interview with a French media outlet about his ongoing United ups, downs and injury struggles, was ammunition for those supporters who like to dig out former managers way after their tenures have ended.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the line of fire. “The last two seasons, I have regularly played injured," said Martial. "I could not accelerate the four months following the Covid season.

Coach Solskjaer tells me he needs me, so I play. And I got set on fire [criticised]. The coach never bothered to tell the media." READ MORE: Anthony Martial was right and wrong about two ex United managers Martial would later use the word "treachery" to describe Solskjaer's treatment of him.
