#2 Anthony Martial didn't do his United standing any favours with his performance
After impressive performances with Monaco in Ligue 1, Anthony Martial became the most expensive teenager in football history after completing a potential £58m transfer to Manchester United, winning the 2015 edition of the prestigious Golden Boy award just few months later.
He starred heavily for United in his debut season under Louis Van Gaal, making 31 Premier League appearances, and scoring 11 goals. However, all that changed with the appointment of Jose Mourinho in 2016.
The 22-year-old started just 18 EPL matches in each of Mourinho's first two seasons in charge (compared to the 28 league matches he started under Van Gaal) as Mourinho preferred an attack comprising other players.
Constant criticism of Martial has also been witnessed, with the most recent being Mourinho's jibe at Martial for electing to spend time with his family instead of reporting to training with his teammates.
Martial's future was up in speculation for most of the transfer window, as the club sought to sell him to raise funds for its pursuit of Ivan Perisic, but with that deal not coming to fruition, it seems the Frenchman would be at Old Trafford for at least another five months.
Anthony Martial was handed a rare start by Mourinho in the absence of the injured Alexis Sanchez, and he failed to grab his opportunity, looking on as a bystander as United failed to impose their authority on the match until he was substituted by Marouane Fellaini in the 60th minute.
With competition for places in United's attack stiff, and Martial not having the trust of his manager, the Frenchman is expected to make the most of whatever opportunities come his way, but on evidence of his performance against Brighton, Martial has some way to go before being fully considered in the first team picture.
