The 28-year-old is in the form of his life with four goals and an assist from his opening five league games this campaign.

His strikes have come from just seven shots, despite failing to score at all in 33 games last season.

Against Manchester United, his scoring run continued when he put the Hornets 1-0 up in the first-half as he fired past David de Gea from Daryl Janmaat’s cut-back.

The seven-time France international continued to break up play and look neat in possession as Walter Mazzarri’s side eventually ran out 3-1 winners, condemning Jose Mourinho to his third defeat in eight days – the first time this has occurred in 14 years since he was manager of FC Porto.
