FIFA World Cup 2018: Top 5 Players who Deserved a Place in the France Squad 1

Anthony Martial was part of France’s Euro 2016 squad but the emergence of Ousmane Dembele, as well as his struggles and low playing time in Manchester United, have made life difficult for Martial.

He has 11 goals and ten assists to his name across all competitions which is an outstanding return for a player who only made 26 starts. In the league, he started in just 18 games and made a further 12 substitute appearances.

The 22-year old is clearly talented and would be a starter elsewhere. Having missed out on the World Cup, he would surely be considering his future at Manchester United and rumours of a move to Juventus is gathering speed.
