#2 Antony Martial's growing confidence

Since his debut season for Manchester United under then manager, Louis Van Gaal, Martial had a difficult period at the club for the next couple of campaigns. However, in this season, he has regained his lost form and been among the goals with Solskaer's appointment further revitalizing the Frenchman.

When Sanchez arrived at United, Martial lost his place in the starting XI. The fans wanted to see Antony back in the side, and once Jose gave him an opportunity, he didn't look back. At one point in the season when Lukaku and Rashford were struggling to score, it was Martial who came up with some crucial goals including the brace against Chelsea earlier in the campaign.

The Frenchman recently signed a new long term contract at United, and it reflected in his game today. In the first half, Martial produced one moment of brilliance where he dribbled past a couple of Fulham defenders and finished off brilliantly giving Rico no chance in goal. That exemplified the form and the confidence he is in at the moment.
