3 reasons why Manchester United beat Young Boys 3-0

#2 Anthony Martial's second-half performance

That goal would have done Martial a world of good

The Anthony Martial that tore oppositions apart in LvG's final season had gone missing and it looked like the belief in the youngster was petering out. His first-half display was underwhelming once again and it looked like Martial was going to have yet another dud.

But that was not to be. It's possible that Mourinho put some spark into Martial with his half-time team talk and the Frenchman came out and started taking the mickey out of opposition defenders. He ghosted past the high press several times and though the final product was lacking often, the flashes of brilliance were there.

It just goes to show that all that Martial needs is time and a run of games. It took him 45 minutes to whip out his bag of tricks. It might take him another 90 to bring the final product to the port. Mourinho has got to persist with him. United just can't afford to lose a player of Martial's ability.
