Man United need a player like Anthony Martial, especially against Juventus

Juventus' players were feeling confident when they drew Monaco in the quarterfinals of the 2014-15 Champions League, having knocked Arsenal out in the previous round. They won 1-0 in the first leg in Turin but one player stood out for Monaco, an 18-year-old forward few of them had heard: his name is Anthony Martial.

Giorgio Chiellini was the first to comment on the young forward's pace and skill at half-time and the great defender felt fortunate to escape a red card for a challenge on him. Sitting on the Monaco bench was veteran striker Dimitar Berbatov. His opinion was that while his team was full of young talents, they didn't really believe in themselves enough to win the game.
