Anthony Martial is starting to prove Erik ten Hag right at Manchester United

Few players within Manchester United's squad can be more disappointed with how this season has gone so far than Anthony Martial.

After returning from his underwhelming loan spell at Sevilla and impressing during the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, the Frenchman has seen more of the Carrington treatment room than he has the pitch in recent weeks.

A mixture of hamstring and Achilles injuries have restricted him to just two appearances for United so far this season. Despite limited opportunities to impress, Martial has ensured that he has left his calling card when openings have presented themselves.

After getting an assist and producing an excellent performance in the second half of United's 2-1 win over Liverpool in August, the versatile attacker returned and scored twice after coming off the bench in Sunday's 6-3 horror show against Manchester City.
