The Frenchman brings a sense of uncertainty in the minds of the opposition that has worked very well for him this season. Martial has included a consistency in his game that has brought a sense of stability in the United team. He had continued his goalscoring form in a very crucial phase for the team this season and at one time, had been carrying United forward alone.

Most of the changes created by Martial previously arrived when he cut back inside from the left. Under Solskjaer, the Frenchman has also started going the other side, sending in crosses, something that has added another dimension to his game. His dribbling ability has improved massively in recent times and he has been clinical in front of goal as well.

However, what has set Martial apart has been his performances from the left side of the field. He has not put a foot wrong and has mixed his game very well so far. He has successfully relegated Alexis Sanchez to the bench, which is no mean feat. Anthony Martial is one of the most crucial pieces of Solskjaer's tactics this season and the Norwegian will be banking on the Frenchman to help United secure at least a top four spot.
