Manchester United vs Tottenham, 5 Key Talking Points

#1 Anthony Martial playing the super-sub role to perfection

Anthony Martial, super-sub

Tony Martial's stats in the Premier League - 262 minutes played, 4 goals, 2 assists at a goal creation rate of once every 44 minutes... factor in the fact that the one time he started he did nothing, it just goes to show just what an impact the Frenchman's had coming off the bench

During Manchester United's best years, their prime in the late 90s, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was absolutely incredible off the bench, capable of turning a game on its head with just a quarter-of-an-hour and Anthony Martial is slowly but surely developing into just that.

While those who watch just clips of him may insist that Martial must start, the simple fact remains that the Frenchman is so much more deadly when he gets to run at defenders who have been tenderised by Marcus Rashford's fast, persistent, direct running.

P.S. What a flick on from Romelu Lukaku - the big Belgian's link-play has been persistently underrated and it's about time we give him credit for the things he does so very well.
