#8 Anthony Martial (France, Manchester United)
Goals Scored: 8
The Frenchman had been knocking on the door for quite some time now, but at the start of the year, Anthony Martial finally makes his entry among the contenders for the first time this season. He scored 2 goals from 5 games in December and has been one of the consistent performers for Manchester United in middle of a season of turmoil.
Martial scored in the thrilling 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the start of December but was rested in the 4-1 win at home over Fulham, after picking up a slight niggle. He came off the bench against Liverpool, in Mourinho's last game in charge, to play for 11 minutes without scoring.
On Solskjaer's appointment, the Frenchman was immediately reinstated into the team against Cardiff City and Martial responded by scoring in the morale-boosting 5-1 win. He missed the game against Huddersfield due to illness, but returned against Bournemouth last weekend, picking up an assist even though he could not score himself.
Martial now has 8 goals from 15 games, averaging 0.53 goals per game. At the start of January 2019, he is 8th among the top ten contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot.
