Anthony Martial dearly wants the goal that will cost Manchester United £8.5million to come against his old rivals St Etienne in the Europa League at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Signs of Martial reviving his United career under Jose Mourinho were evident in the 2-0 win over Watford at the weekend when he scored one and made the other in a man-of-the-match performance.
Martial’s second-half strike took his overall total to 24 goals since joining United from Monaco in the summer of 2015 for an initial fee of £36m. One more will trigger a clause in his contract guaranteeing his old club the additional £8.
