Anthony Martial Turns Into Lionel Messi Against Fulham And Scores Unbelievable Solo Effort

Manchester United's Anthony Martial casually turned into Lionel Messi on Saturday afternoon, scoring a magnificent solo effort against relegation contenders Fulham to make it 2-0.

Pogba scored his 10th goal of the season with a shot that almost broke the net earlier in the half, but Martial's effort won the plaudits in the opening 45 minutes.

This is something special from the Frenchman. Take a bow.

Martial has been out in recent weeks due to injury but his form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is certainly admirable.

The 23-year-old was likely to leave Old Trafford with Jose Mourinho still in charge but now the Frenchman has signed a new deal at Manchester United having told his agent to sign him up.

Just look at this stat. He's on fire at present.

Mourinho was genuinely ready to sell Martial last summer, in order to help fund a move for another winger, but Ed Woodward refused the sale,

I'm sure United fans are happy about that decision.
