#9 Anthony Martial’s debut goal vs Liverpool

Anthony Martial's transfer from AS Monaco to Manchester United created quite a stir as the football fans couldn't really understand why Manchester United paid a hefty amount of £36 million to land the services of the young French forward. Martial did show glimpses of excellence at Monaco but nothing spectacular that warranted that price tag.

In September 2015, when Manchester United hosted Liverpool in an encounter at Old Trafford, the Red Devils under Louis Van Gaal were lacking attacking prowess and the outcome looked in doubt.

Though United was leading 2-1, they looked vulnerable as Liverpool was pressing high and causing troubles when Van Gaal brought on Martial from the bench. Not many would've expected an extraordinary debut but Martial did the spectacular and scored one of the most stunning goals in the history of this iconic fixture.
