Anthony Martial can become the seventh different player to score in five consecutive Premier League games for the club which will make his name to a list comprising of Eric Cantona, Dwight Yorke, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie.

Despite his temporary arguments between him and Jose Mourinho, Martial has managed to link up with United forwards like Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard. His dynamic play in the flanks and cohesiveness upfront will bode well for Manchester United which makes him dangerous for City defenders.

His recent good performances have coincided with Manchester United's good fortune in these last few games. In the past month or so, United have mounted a comeback and managed to get a positive result out of nothing thanks to the exploits of Anthony Martial.

It is neither a surprise nor a coincidence and there is no doubt that Martial will play a huge role if United manages to get a positive result from this match.
