'I always say the same thing: get the ball to Anthony and we will win!' - Mata gushes after stellar Martial performance

The winger found the net in sensational style on Saturday, while also bagging an assist as his side cruised at Craven Cottage

Juan Mata has heaped praise on Manchester United's Anthony Martial in the aftermath of Saturday's 3-0 win over Fulham, singling out the Frenchman as a player who can win matches on his own.

United produced another dominant display under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Martial and Paul Pogba standing out as the Red Devils fired three goals past a timid Cottagers side bereft of ideas against a superior opponent.

And while Pogba was named man of the match for his two-goal performance, it was Martial – who also registered a goal and an assist – for whom Mata would reserve special praise.
