Oh, Martiaaaaaaaaaaaal.

Every single time he plays, he makes you scream his name out loud - trouble is while half the time it's out of sheer "oh-my-good-lord-what-did-he-just-do-there" excitement, the other is dedicated to sheer "what-the-hell-did-he-just-do-there" anger

Just have a look at this clips -

Magic.

And then, Rubbish.

Gary Neville said last week - "You always get the feeling he's playing at 85 percent. If he showed that extra 15 percent, then he could do anything. He's got everything you'd want: composure in front of goal, great skill, pace, strength, but what is that little bit missing?"... and you can't help but wonder what Anthony Martial could be capable of if stumbled upon that remaining 15%.

No one, no one, at Manchester United produces as many exhilarating moments as Anthony Martial and he deserves all the love and support he is getting from the fans... and the manager. He is still only 21, for crying out loud... and if United remain patient with the lad, they'll end up winners sooner rather than later.
