Premier League 2019-20: 4 players who will be vital for Manchester United against Liverpool

#1 Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial is set to play a part against Liverpool

If there’s one player Manchester United has missed more than Pogba this season, it is Anthony Martial. The Frenchman started the season brilliantly and looked very comfortable in the No. 9 role. Sadly he picked up an injury and that was the start of United’s troubles.

The Red Devils tried a lot of combinations upfront in the Frenchman’s absence, but none of them worked. Manchester United looked lost in attack without Martial, which is why it is a huge boost for the home side that he could play some part against Liverpool.

The Frenchman has the finishing abilities and turn of pace that compliments the new look United attack. His presence at the tip of United attack will help the club in more ways than one. While the Red Devils will certainly be replenished with his return to the team, it will also ease the pressure on his fellow attackers.

Martial’s return will give the United attack a much-needed goal threat, while it will also enable both Marcus Rashford and Daniel James to play their natural game. However, the Frenchman is rumoured to be fit enough for only 30 minutes but he could play a vital role from the bench.

If Martial manages to be back on the bench against Liverpool, United will have reasons to be optimistic. Because it was against some opponents that the Frenchman broke into the scene at Old Trafford a little over four years ago, scoring a brilliant solo goal and announcing himself to the world.
