WATCH: Anthony Martial Madness Sets Up Jesse Lingard Opener Against Real Madrid

Manchester United lead Real Madrid at the break in the International Champions Cup, thanks to a goal from Jesse Lingard.

But all the hard work from the opening goal against the Champions League winners came from winger Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman, linked with a move away from United this summer, danced between three Real defenders down the left - using his lightning quick feet and impressive balance and picking out Lingard at the far post to notch the opener just before half-time at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara:

Just filthy from Martial. That is him at his very best, and it's not just any old defender he tore a new one - the man who was ruined was Dani Carvajal, one of the best right-backs in world football.

Manchester United fans were raving about the piece of magic their No.11 conjured up:

Will Martial have a big part to play at United next season?

Sound off in the comments.
