Tom Heaton picks Anthony Martial as ideal striker — he gives his reasons

Tom Heaton is the Man United player to take on the challenge of building his perfect footballer, by using the attributes of different players.

In terms of finishing, he picked Anthony Martial. He explains: "For me, it would probably be Anthony Martial: he can bend it, he can whip it, he can go with power, he can lift it over you.

"He’s got that composure, that sort of calmness in front of goal that makes it difficult for a goalkeeper.

"[As a keeper] you very often want people to take a shot early or to force them into something but with Anthony, it’s very difficult to affect him, so when he’s through on goal it usually ends up in the net.”

Martial is indeed a gifted footballer. On his day, the Frenchman can wreck havoc on opposition. However, persistent injuries and a dip in form has thwarted his progress.

The forward has managed just five minutes of football this season which came in the defeat at Tottenham.
