Anthony Martial Names Manchester United Players He Has Special Connections With

Speaking to MUTV, Anthony Martial said: “Bruno Fernandes and I always had that connection between us and we both just have to keep working to improve it. Well, that [assists] is something we always talk about.

“As he left to take part in the World Cup, I was telling him to make sure that he comes home in good shape. And he would say, of course, lots of assists are coming your way. That’s one of the things about sport, that chat.

“It’s very important to have good connections on the pitch. He knows very well that I might go to take the ball at someone’s feet, and he will run deep. It’s that kind of connection that helps you get to know the playing style of your partner.”
