Manchester United v Swansea City - Premier League
Manchester United v Swansea City - Premier League

Anthony Martial arrived at Manchester United two seasons ago and took the Premier League by storm. The 22-year-old managed to score 18 goals and 11 assists in his debut season which propelled him to the French international team as well.

The striker turned winger has a natural tendency to cut back inside towards the centre of the pitch and unleash a powerful shot towards the keeper. With his twinkling toes, Martial has always been a threat when he has been played by Jose Mourinho in the Premier League which is reflected by his formidable stats this season.

The French international has six goals and three assists to his name this season with the highest goal contributions in the league per 90 minutes which is an accolade in itself. The winger has great dribbling skills and is one of the best youngsters who can win every one-on-one situation against a defender or a goalkeeper.
