3 Reasons why Manchester United won against Everton

He would obviously be disappointed for wasting a golden chance to grab a brace in the dying embers of the game but giving Martial an extended stint in the starting XI seems to be paying dividends and then some for Jose Mourinho.

Martial's goal was a treat to watch. An exquisite shot from outside the box, engineered to absolute perfection and affording Jordan Pickford no chance. Martial, who shies away from taking defenders on when he's low on confidence is truly looking like a different player now.

His trickery is forcing defenders to backpedal and is helping United immensely in the final third. Martial is a mercurial talent and United should get him to sign a contract as soon as they can because this boy is special
