5) Martial’s debut goal against Liverpool
Louis Van Gaal made Anthony Martial the most expensive teenager in Premier League history when he purchased the then 19-year-old in August of 2015 for £36 million. A lot of criticism was directed towards the manager because of the risk he took in making that decision.
9 months later Martial has become Manchester United’s most important outfield player. His pace, power and goals have helped the Red Devils reach an FA Cup final for the first time since 2007.
But his introduction was something reminiscent of a certain Thierry Henry. Of all teams to make your debut against Van Gaal chose Liverpool. With the game well poised, the Frenchman came on, mesmerized three Liverpool defenders before scoring United’s third goal and securing a great result for his team.
