Martial is Man of the Match

Anthony Martial was voted Manchester United’s Man of the Match by fans on Twitter after scoring the winner against Burnley on Saturday.

The Frenchman capped a fine personal and team display with the decisive moment against the Clarets – a sublime strike which found the net via the crossbar in the 54th minute – as the Reds secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Turf Moor.

He picked up 65 per cent of the final vote from supporters, with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling also nominated for their solid displays in defence which helped Jose Mourinho’s men keep a fifth successive clean sheet.
