Anthony Martial Dropped A Masterclass Against Man City And His Individual Highlights Are Something Else

He wreaked havoc and was a constant threat, winning a penalty in the opening minute after a mazy run inside City's box.

Bruno Fernandes tucked away the penalty with the Frenchman United's main source of attack as he led the line expertly at the Etihad.

The 25-year-old held the ball nicely, bringing his teammates into action and even skinned Ruben Dias with his silky footwork.

He was unable to cap his performance with a goal, but his performance was appreciated by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United fans on social media.

On his No.9, the United boss said: "Anthony Martial was man of the match and he was an even bigger doubt than Luke [Shaw].

"That was the Anthony we know, strong positive and taking players on. Delighted for him."

He added: "That was the Martial of old. Until two hours before warm-up I wasn't sure if he'd play.

"Today he rediscovered himself. He was really strong on the ball and very positive."

United's victory over City improves their tally to 54 points as they move back to second place ahead of third-placed Leicester City.
