Gary Neville has said on Twitter that he would not swap Manchester United forward Anthony Martial for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The Sky Sports pundit has suggested that he would be willing to let Martial leave given the players United now have.
However, the former United defender has said that he would not swap France international forward Martial for Denmark international midfielder Hojbjerg.
Martial is not having the best of times at United, and we should not be surprised if the 25-year-old is sold next summer.
The Red Devils have a lot of options in attack now, and when everyone is fit, the former AS Monaco star is unlikely to get much playing time.
The United no.9 has made one start in the Premier League so far this season, and made 17 starts in the league in 2020-21.
What Neville’s tweet shows is how much he rates – or does not rate – Hojbjerg.
Hojbjerg is an important player in the Tottenham team and is one of the first names on the teamsheet when he is fit and available.
Hojbjerg scored two goals and gave four assists in 38 Premier League for Tottenham last season, and has played six times in the league so far this campaign.
