New guy seals visitors' fate

Manchester United earned another victory to savour against Liverpool with Anthony Martial scoring on a dream debut to ensure a 3-1 triumph at Old Trafford. The visitors looked to have set up a nervous finale when Christian Benteke's spectacular strike replied to earlier goals by Daley Blind and Ander Herrera. However, Martial took centre stage by announcing his arrival with a superb solo third. Van Gaal bought Martial for his planned successor Ryan Giggs, and I know he made the right choice in doing so because Martial clearly knows one of the fundamental things about excelling in soccer: you have to keep putting the ball in the back of the net.
