Martial out to cast doubts in defenders

In-form Manchester United star Anthony Martial has explained how he aims to gain the upper hand over his markers by planting seeds of doubt in their minds.

When operating on the left flank, the Frenchman is usually charged with the responsibility of beating his opponent in order to open defences up and this is something he has done to great effect in recent weeks, perhaps most impressively during the dramatic New Year's Eve victory over Middlesbrough.

Martial sped past Calum Chambers early in that Premier League outing and played a key role in the 2-1 win, hitting the woodwork, setting up Zlatan Ibrahimovic's disallowed goal and scoring the equaliser.
