2. The Martial story:
Anthony Martial was on target against Swiss side Young Boys in midweek and will be vying for a position on the flanks alongside Sanchez and Lingard, both of whom were rested for the same game.
Martial struggled in the first half but found his mood in the second in Switzerland. Teed up by Pogba, he finessed the ball into the net, albeit via a slight deflection. The goal seemed to have put the fire back in his belly and he went on to improve drastically. He finished the 90 minutes and must be rearing to put on his skids again on Saturday.
However, it is likely that the two wing spots will be given to Sanchez and Lingard. Sanchez has struggled so far this season and may see Martial’s performance as a reminder to pull up his socks.
