A lot has been said of the French forward during the summer and at the start of the season. His relationship with his manager had been scrutinized to the core and there were a lot of speculations regarding his future. None of those could drown the fact that Anthony Martial is one of the hottest young talents in the world right now and the Frenchman has been displaying some glimpses of his abilities recently.

Last season, Martial scored 11 goals from 45 games, finding the back of the net 9 times in 30 Premier League games. This season, the start had not been pretty. Martial drew a blank in the first 4 games in the Premier League; however, he came out flying against Newcastle, opening his account for the new season.
Against Chelsea, Martial was clinical and showed his precision and accuracy and has now scored 3 goals in his last 2 games, taking his tally to 4 goals in 9 games in all competitions so far. Anthony Martial’s resurgence is the biggest positive from this weekend and the fact that Mourinho is keeping his faith on the French striker is great news for Manchester United.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
