Anthony Martial has been the top scorer for Manchester United

Anthony Martial’s £36million move to Manchester United at the start of the season raised many eyebrows, but his performance for the Red Devils has answered all critics in style, justifying his hefty transfer fee.

He was introduced to the world in some fashion, scoring against arch rivals Liverpool in his debut match at the Theatre of Dreams in a 3-1 triumph and has been their top scorer in all competitions, scoring 18 and assisting 7 times. He was named the Premier League Player of the month in September, becoming just the third youngest player to win the award.

The 20-year-old has been a constant threat for the opposition throughout the season, using his pace and dribbling skills to skip past defenders with ease, and can play as a forward and a winger, capable of playing on either of the flanks.

With Benzema missing from France’s Euro squad, Martial and Griezmann could supplement their attack up front, with both of them capable of playing as striker or on either of the wings.
