The former French defender feels his countryman could benefit from the Swede's departure at Manchester United
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Manchester United exit will give Anthony Martial a chance to take a step up, according to Mikael Silvestre.
Martial, 21, scored just four Premier League goals last season after starting 18 games as Ibrahimovic took centre stage at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic netted 28 times in all competitions for United, but a knee injury brought his campaign to an early end and he left the club at season's conclusion.
Silvestre, who won five Premier League titles at United, believes that will give Martial an opportunity after the France international struggled to back up his breakout 2015-16 campaign, during which he scored 17 goals.
