Man Utd news: Anthony Martial has named the best player he has ever played with, and it’s Wayne Rooney.
The Man Utd and France attacker has played alongside some of the best footballers in the world, including current teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Martial has been playing for Man Utd since leaving French side AS Monaco for the Premier League side in 2015.
The French international shared a dressing room with Rooney in his first two seasons at the club. Rooney and Martial were teammates in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons until the former joined Everton in 2017.

Martial has now named Rooney the best he has played with. The 26-year-old praised Rooney, describing the former England international as a “freak” and a “role model as a footballer”.
Martial also praised Rooney’s selflessness, noting that he always plays for the team. “We’ve talked about being genuine and that’s why I can talk about Wayne Rooney. He is the best player I have ever played with,” Martial told France Football.
“He is always playing for the team, always at 100%, without fuss. A monster. And a model as a footballer”.
Since joining Man Utd, Martial has appeared in 270 games for the Old Trafford side and has scored a respectable 79 goals.
Martial has also spent half a season on loan at Sevilla in LaLiga. He arrived at Sevilla on loan from Man Utd in the second half of the 2021/22 season.
Meanwhile, Martial has only appeared in one game for Man Utd this season. He came off the bench in Man Utd’s 2-1 win over Liverpool. He set up Rashford for Man Utd’s second goal of the game.
Meanwhile, Man Utd have bounced back after a dismal start to the 22/23 Premier League season. They fell to defeats in their first two games, losing 2-1 to Brighton and 4-0 to Brentford.
Since then, Man Utd have played four matches in the English top flight and have won all of them. The Red Devils’ first win of the season came against Liverpool. They then secured 1-0 wins over Southampton and Leicester City.
Man Utd posted four wins in a row when they took on Arsenal, defeating them 3-1 at Old Trafford.
Man Utd then kicked off their campaign in the Europa League. They received Real Sociedad in the group stage and lost 1-0.
