Should Martial play on the left or in the centre for Man United? The fans have spoken… (Poll)

Manchester United fans have had their say on what is currently the most divisive issue at Old Trafford – where exactly should Anthony Martial be playing?

Louis van Gaal has started the 19-year-old France international on the left of his attack in recent weeks, but there’s a growing feeling that he could do more damage in the middle.

With Wayne Rooney struggling for form – underlined by his penalty miss in the League Cup exit to Middlesbrough – many United supporters would like to see Martial given a chance to lead the line.

We ran a poll on the issue on Twitter, and the results are conclusive…

At the time of writing, 88% of almost 1,500 voters believe that Martial should be playing in the centre.

Here are just a few of the responses…

Of course, not everyone took it seriously…

So, will Van Gaal listen to the fans wishes? For some reason we doubt it very much.
