5 Men who can help Manchester United overcome Liverpool at Anfield

#1 Anthony Martial

Manchester United v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Anthony Martial has been the silver lining of Manchester United's dismal season. The Frenchman has now scored 7 goals in his last 8 games and has single-handedly carried United to the 6th position. His good form has been a blessing for his club, especially since the rest of the front players - Lukaku, Sanchez and Rashford in particular - have been going through a lean phase.

However, Martial has missed last week's win over Fulham and the midweek loss to Valencia in the Champions League due to a rumoured injury and it will be a huge blow to United if the Frenchman cannot recover in time for the trip to Anfield on Sunday.

However, if Martial is fit, Liverpool will have their hands full and will be worried whenever he gets the ball near the box. When Martial cuts in, he is almost as dangerous as anyone in that position. Also, the Frenchman has improved his finishing this season and has been more clinical in front of goal.

He has also looked more involved in the game and has tracked back quite well. The way Liverpool play means that Manchester United will have space to exploit and Martial's speed and technical ability could punish Liverpool in the counter then.

If the Frenchman is on song on Sunday, he will take some stopping. He is currently Manchester United's best player and is the player United will have all their hopes pinned on.
