There were question marks surrounding the future of the Frenchman Anthony Martial as he was continuously linked with Inter Milan amidst rumours that he was not a part of Jose Mourinho's plans this season. And Martial's low key celebration following his goal against West Ham on the opening day added further fuel to these speculations.

However, Mourinho was quick to quash the rumours and expressed his faith in Martial in his pre-match conference just before the Swansea game.

And well, Martial did what he does at his best, scored at the end of a scintillating counter-attack from Manchester United. The 21-year-old Frenchman is making an extremely good case for himself to be given a starting berth in United's lineup. And the early signs are that Martial, who is in his third season at Old Trafford now, could be set for a massive season.

His pace and calm finishing will be vital as the season progresses for United.
