Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round

Anthony Martial was one of the highest rated young players in Europe upon signing for AS Monaco in 2013 and his performances saw him named the winner of the prestigious Golden Boy award in 2015.

He signed for Manchester United in the summer of 2015 and went on to make a spectacular debut for the club, scoring a well-taken goal against none other than heavy rivals Liverpool to help his new side to a 3-1 win in the Premier League.

Since then, the French international has shone on occasion, while other times have seen him disappoint as a combination of factors including distrust by his manager and injury problems have hampered his growth at Old Trafford.

In total, he has made 178 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils scoring 48 goals.
