EPL: Sam Allardyce slams Anthony Martial over contract extension

Former Crystal Palace manager, Sam Allardyce has suggested that Manchester United forward, Anthony Martial is not worthy of a new contract at Old Trafford.

Martial was made the most expensive teenager when joining United from Monaco in a £36million deal three years ago.

Allardyce, however, believes that the France international has failed to ‘consistently deliver’ for United.

“I’m very surprised if they have offered Martial a five-year contract in all honesty,” Allardyce told talkSPORT.

“The lad is in his fourth season at Manchester United and I don’t think anybody would actually say he has delivered consistently.

“We’ve seen the odd flash of his brilliance, but by now he should be showing that brilliance on a more regular basis. He should be hitting top form more often than not.

“He’s had two managers now and both managers have found it difficult to find him a regular place in the Man United side.”
