Anthony Martial ticks another achievement off the list

Tom Victor

It’s getting harder and harder for us to dismiss Anthony Martial as a flash in the pan, however much we might want to.

By the standards of £36m signings, the teenager was a relative unknown when he moved to Manchester United.

While he was hardly expected to flop, it was fair to assume the Frenchman might take a while to hit top gear.

Well, we all know what happened next, and it keeps getting better.

Martial made his first start for France in a friendly against Denmark, and he only went and won the man of the match award.

This stunning assist for Olivier Giroud probably helped, but it’s clear to see that the 19-year-old has skills.

With a major tournament on home soil just months away, could Martial help lead France to their first silverware since the 2003 Confederations Cup?
