Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince did not mince his words during scathing criticism of Anthony Martial following the 0 -0 draw with Wolves

.

Martial did not register a single shot in the match and struggled against a regimented Wolves defense which included the returning Willy Boly.

Despite this, the – year-old striker was not substituted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United pushed for a winner.

But the subequent goalless draw means that United have picked up only four points from their last five games. (

Post-game, Ince questioned why the Frenchman was not taken off during a tepid performance which leaves United still only edging wolves to sixth place on goal difference.

“I can’t believe Martial stayed on for so long,” Ince told Premier League Productions .

“I’ve always called him a fizzy drink. You open a can, it fizzes and then it goes flat. That’s exactly what you saw today.

“He shouldn’t have stayed on the pitch as long as he did.”

Regarding United’s performance, Ince added: “It wasn’t the greatest performance. When you’re conceding two goals against Burnley at home, you ‘ d expect the atmosphere to be toxic. There you can see the fans clapping Ole off.

“It’s a clean sheet for Manchester United , the most positive thing I can take from it.

“[Aaron] Wan-Bissaka was excellent. He tried like he does every game. Once he [Adama Traore] came off all Wolves did was sit back and soaked up the pressure.

“They look more content with a point than Man United do. ”

Wales manager and Ince’s former team-mate Ryan Giggs provided a more positive reflection on the action at Old Trafford, saying: “Second half was better – United improved a lot. They were the better team second half.

“It looked like two teams who have faced each other a lot in a short space of time. They cancelled each other out and I think from a Wolves perspective it was a blow for them, Traore coming off.

“Because they could’ve used his pace and power in the last minutes to counter-attack. [United were] better but without creating too many clear-cut chances. “
