'I can't wait to see him back' - Manchester United fans react to magical Anthony Martial display

Anthony Martial had Manchester United fans pleading for his return to the club as he produced a stellar first-half display for Sevilla against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night.

It was an eventful first 45 minutes for the Frenchman who was instrumental in the opening goal, bursting forward on a solo run before being hauled down by Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

From the resulting spot-kick, Ivan Rakitic stepped up and gave Julen Lopetegui's side the lead.

In first-half stoppage time, Alejandro Gomez slid the ball through to Martial who applied a neat finish to extend his side's lead.

United fans couldn't hide their excitement and were over the moon to see the 26-year-old back amongst the goals.

On the stroke of half-time, the visitors equalised through Mislav Orsic, but their joy didn't last long as Lucas Ocampos restored the home side's lead before Martial piled on the misery for the visitors.

It follows the Frenchman's influential display against Elche last week, with the United loanee playing a key part on Gomez's opener before assisting Rafa Mir's header to help Sevilla keep the pressure on Real Madrid in the title race.
