#3 Flop: Anthony Martial
With Alexis Sanchez absent from the squad through an apparent training injury, it was the ideal opportunity for Anthony Martial to justify his claim for extended play-time down the left-wing. However, the 22-year-old, as on so many occasions towards the back end of last season, came up a cropper.
Apart from a dazzling run into the penalty box within the opening 10 minutes, the Frenchman offered next to no threat in attack. The urgency to go forward and test opponents one-by-one disappeared without a trace. He failed to put the debutant full-back Martin Montoya under the pump and was only too happy to defend Anthony Knockaert on the other half of the pitch. It needed some injection of energy from Luke Shaw to create chances from that side of the attack.
His frustrating start to the season continued as he was taken off for Marouane Fellaini after a below-par average which is unlikely to give Alexis any fears about his starting place once the Chilean is fit.
