Manchester United star Anthony Martial impressed fans despite not being on the scoreboard against Leeds United in the high-scoring victory.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men rampaged at Old Trafford, beating six of their fierce rivals, but the French forward failed to score on any of them.
Martial started the match as the man leading the United line, flanked by Marcus Rashford and Daniel James, but ended it on the left wing after giving way to Edinson Cavani.
The former AS Monaco player had a chance to show he could turn around his poor scoring record this season, but missed the chance despite having at least two clear chances to convert.
However, fans have recognized how crucial Martial was in the big win and chose not to criticize him, particularly as he helped two of the six goals.
Martial gives you 2 assists and a playmaking masterclass even when he’s having a bad day in front of goal. What a player

Antony Martial has two assists in the same game for #mufc for the third time. Today he sports a sharp and brilliantly linked game. That goal has given him confidence!

Martial was Manchester United’s top scorer last season, but this time he has apparently forgotten about his shooting boots.
In 14 appearances and roughly 12 games in minutes, the normally clinical attacker has only three goals, and only one of them in the league.
However, he has five assists and has been decent overall, but he needs to get back to his way of scoring goals.
Edinson Cavani has made a big impact since the deadline day arrived at Old Trafford, but how much does he know about our other South American players, past and present? Take our quiz below to find out!
