Anthony Martial might well have established himself as Manchester United’s main man last season, but he can’t seem to get a look in with his international side.
So far at the Euros, apart from starting their second group match against Albania, Didier Deschamps has limited his time on the pitch to the odd substitute appearance here and there.
But it’s not as if the bloke hasn’t been catching the eye in training.
Only last week, we showed you how he’d scored a couple of screamers in a training session at French football’s HQ at Clairefontaine.
There was this overhead kick…

And then came this absolute thunderbastard of a strike…

And with a semi-final against Germany looming, Martial has been at it again – smashing in a couple more long-range efforts on the training ground.

If it weren’t for Antoine Griezmann being in such fine goal-scoring form for the French, we’d almost certainly have seen more of Martial for Les Bleus in the last few weeks.
At least he should be nice and fresh for the start of the season. We’re sure Jose will appreciate that.
