Manchester United fans think they have proof Anthony Martial is finally going to turn it around after spotting a detail in their defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Red Devils opened their Champions League campaign with a 4-3 defeat at the Allianz Arena as Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Harry Kane and Mathys Tel all got on the score-sheet.
Rasmus Hojlund, who scored his first goal for the club since his summer move from Atalanta, and Casemiro (x2) scored for the visitors.

With nine minutes to go in the match, Erik ten Hag brought on Martial for Hojlund and he looked electric up front, playing a role in his side's second goal on the night.
Man United fans online noticed the boots he was wearing as they referenced his Nike sponsorship, which he lost in June 2020.
He has just 21 goal involvements since then, with supporters convinced he'll turn his fortunes around as he's now wearing Nike boots.

Martial scored 23 goals in all competitions the last time he wore Nike-related footwear.
He scored 17 league goals and six cup goals during the 2019/20 season.

A fourth said: "He has gotten back his mojo."

A Man United fan, however, argued: "This club used to be great, they used to celebrate big trophies, they now celebrate their nonsense striker wearing branded boots."
Martial scored nine goals in all competitions last season and has yet to open his account this term.
