Arsenal legend Paul Merson names Manchester United player who 'shouldn't be at the club'

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has suggested Anthony Martial "shouldn't be playing for Manchester United" after the Reds' defeat at Brighton on Thursday night.

Erik ten Hag's side appeared as though they would be coming away from the Amex Stadium with a point, but the Seagulls scored a penalty in added-time after Luke Shaw handled the ball inside the box. World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister calmly converted from the spot to condemn the Reds to their eighth league defeat of the campaign.

United, who now sit two points behind third-placed Newcastle, created a number of good opportunities in the match, but they once again struggled in front of goal. Martial was preferred to Wout Weghorst in attack, with the Frenchman making just his eighth Premier League start of the campaign.
