Anthony Martial’s Manchester United debut couldn’t have gone much better.
The Frenchman’s new club doubled their 1-0 lead within minutes of him replacing Juan Mata, and he then went on to seal a 3-1 win with a goal that made all the ‘New Thierry Henry’ hyperbole seem like it just might be accurate.
1 – Anthony Martial has scored with his first shot in the Premier League. Bargain.

Unsurprisingly, United’s fans were delighted…
Lots of Henry comparisons, but even he didn't have to start under this scrutiny. Martial has no chill!

That Martial goal is one of my favourite United moment for a while.

A goal of that quality was enough to make anyone sit up and take notice.

Would have written off Martial as a waste of money but considering he almost signed for Spurs he was guaranteed to be amazing.

Well, almost everyone…
Martial won't score a goal like that for the rest of his life
