Everyone at Old Trafford stopped and took notice of a player that was bashed by several pundits and former players before the game because of his hefty transfer price tag.
Despite the excellent start to his United career, there is no doubt that Martial has a lot of work to do if he wishes to justify being the most expensive teenager in history.
The 24 year old made his first League appearance against Liverpool and made very vital saves during the game.
This season he has hit the ground running for both club and country and is pleased to have turned things around.
“It is fantastic, I can not deny that, but he is still only 19‚” Van Gaal said.
“Yes of course. If you win, you are always satisfied because winning a game in the Premier League is not so easy, especially against competitors”, said. The Dutchman did admit that Rooney and Carrick had spoken to him regarding dressing room morale, and the 64-year-old confessed that it had been “alarming”.
“I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my team-mates to be successful”. “I hope by my declarations it shall be the case that people don’t expect so much”.
“It doesn’t get any better than that does it, coming in and coming on and scoring against Liverpool like that”. I feel really well. “It is a minor injury and I believe he shall play against Southampton next weekend”.

Manchester United controlled the ball in the first half and had more possession but there was no penetration whatsoever by Van Gaal’s side and the first half ended in a boring goalless stalemate.
Obviously I know he might find it a bit tough with everything that’s going on with social media.
“When we won 3-0 it felt great”. Staff and players. We will all welcome him very well.

“Morgan Schneiderlin is the translator but if he talks like that on the pitch, that’s all we need“, Young said.
