 | | Wenger refused to take Marshal because he was not a striker25.09.2015 |
The agent of Anthony Marshal Philippe Lambole, said that Arsene Wenger has had the opportunity to purchase his client, but he's not interested.
The reason why the 19-year-old Marshal should not be placed in the 'Emirats' is that Wenger sees the French national rather than like a wing as a pure striker. 'I was surprised that Wenger did not want in any way to take Anthony, because the two have known each other for a long time.
I know that Wenger was looking for a quarterback, but it was rejected because it sees it as a wing. However, Marshal is a striker who can play anywhere.', said Lambole.
The lack of proactive action by Wenger let Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal to purchase the teenager from Monaco against 36 million pounds and investment so far seems more than successful, after Marshal scored 4 goals in his first 4 appearances for the Red Devils.
