Anthony Martial vs Stoke (February 2)

Anthony Martial finished off a fine team goal with a fine strike against Stoke in February.

Jesse Lingard gave van Gaal’s side the lead after just 14 minutes, and then French international Martial finished off an excellent move just nine minutes later to put United in complete control.

And it was a great goal from the Red Devils.

It all came about from a Stoke attack which was thwarted by Daley Blind, allowing Lingard and Michael Carrick to move the ball forward. Juan Mata picked it up down the right, brilliantly cut it back to Wayne Rooney, who fed Martial on the corner of the box.

The Frenchman then expertly half-volleyed it past Jack Butland to set United on their way to three points.
