Jamie Redknapp has told Sky Sports that he thought Everton defender Seamus Coleman was absolutely petrified coming up against Anthony Martial yesterday.

Coleman struggled against Martial, with Everton slipping to a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

It was the French attacker who scored the Red Devils’ second goal in the contest.

And Redknapp said: “You see Seamus Coleman, he was petrified of him. He’s got the lot.”

Martial did indeed cause Everton great problems throughout the contest, with his pace and dribbling ability.

The wide-man won United a penalty in the first-half, before scoring a brilliant goal in the second.

Although Everton did strike back with a goal from Gylfi Sigurdsson from the spot, they were unable to take any points from Old Trafford.

Coleman’s shaky display has led to questions over whether Jonjoe Kenny will come in to replace him, unless the Irish international improves his performances in the coming weeks.
