#1 Anthony Martial
The Frenchman had his first start since returning from injury and looked the most lethal of United's attackers. Anthony Martial did not get the service he deserved but whenever he had the ball at his feet, he looked to create something out of it. His close control and trickery kept the opposition on their toes. The Frenchman also drew quite a few fouls, as the home side struggled to deal with his movement and diagonal runs.
Martial also dropped deep to pick up the ball from midfield and initiate attacks. He lacked support from the other attackers in the team but kept striving to carve out chances for United. After Brandon Williams won the penalty, the Frenchman stepped up to take the spot kick. Manchester United’s record from the spot has not been good this season but Martial showed no signs of being nervous, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and giving his team the lead.
He was eventually replaced by Marcus Rashford in the second half. By then, Martial had ensured that United earned their first away win of the season.
