Manchester United have always been famous for their wide players. When Sir Alex Ferguson was plotting United's revival in the Premier League era, he put his trust on a young Ryan Giggs, who tore the opposition apart. The Legendary Scot found another ace through the left side years later in a young Cristiano Ronaldo. While Anthony Martial is quite different from both of them, he still is pretty much built on the same mettle of style, substance and world class abilities.

Ever since he joined United, the Frenchman has been unlike all the other talents at Old Trafford. His young age and lack of consistency did get him down more often than not, but no one could deny that on his day, the Frenchman was unplayable. Martial is neither an out an out winger like the Welshman, nor does he nurture the goalscoring desires of Ronaldo, in fact, he is quite different from those two. Yet, his world class abilities puts him in a similar space of two of United's most successful winger and with proper guidance, assurance and support, Martial could run riot through the left of the United attack for years to come.

It is for this very reason that Manchester United needs to plan the days ahead with Martial as a permanent feature through the left. Maybe with time, the Frenchman could make a successful transition to a No. 9 role as well.
