Partizan Belgrade 0-1 Manchester United: 3 reasons why the Red Devils won | Europa League 2019-20

#1 Clinical Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial celebrates

This was Anthony Martial's first start since August, and he rewarded his manager's faith with a well-taken penalty.

Manchester United were once again lackluster going forward, as they failed to make any headway in the final third despite hugging the ball way more than their hosts. The visitors failed to hit the target from open play for the second time in as many Europa League games, making Martial's goal even more vital in retrospect.

Brandon Williams was recklessly brought down in the box by Nemanja Miletic late in the first half. And Martial displayed nerves of steel as he deftly played the ball beyond the reach of Vladimir Stojkovic and into the bottom left corner.
