Goal of the Day: Martial announces himself

Background: United were looking to bounce back against fierce rivals Liverpool after a 2-1 defeat at Swansea last time out in the Premier League. Louis Van Gaal’s side were in complete control following goals from Daley Blind and Ander Herrera, until Christian Benteke’s late, acrobatic effort gave the away side renewed hope of a comeback. However, United debutant Anthony Martial wrapped up the victory in style just two minutes later...

The goal: Bastian Schweinsteiger pinged a fine, outside of the foot pass towards the left wing and Ashley Young helped the ball on to Martial, leaving Liverpool’s defence stretched and out of position.
