Manchester United striker Anthony Marital has drawn inspiration from Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, saying that he wants to develop a goalscoring instinct like that of the latter.
"Someone like [Cristiano] Ronaldo focuses on scoring. To progress, perhaps I also need to think more about scoring," Martial was quoted as saying by goal.com.
