After back-to-back poor performances, Manchester United returned to winning ways with an excellent 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.
The pressure was undoubtedly relieved on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer somewhat, though there is still much work ahead for the Baby Faced Assassin.
Simply put, this Red Devils team remains consistently inconsistent, though the front line continues to fire on all cylinders. After some mid-season brilliance from Marcus Rashford, it’s now Anthony Martial who is stealing the limelight.
The French attacker has always been an immense talent, the problem is, he’s struggled to string a real good run of games together.
Right now, though, he’s bang-in form. Today against the Magpies, a brilliant book-ended brace saw United home. It was Martial who dragged United level, before the Frenchman ended it with a killer fourth.
I still stand by the fact that Martial is the single-best finisher at this club. Give him a chance and eight times out of ten the ball ends up in the back of the net.
Anyway, as you’d imagine, the Red Devils fans reacted in their droves to the 24-year-old’s boss display vs the Magpies, and long may it continue. As the cool kids would say, Martial FC will be eating ‘gucci’ tonight…
