Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag praised second-half substitute Anthony Martial for victory over Liverpool.

Ten Hag asked Martial to play at centre-forward and he looked dangerous in that position.

Ten Hag praised Martial's performance on MUTV after the win and lauded his ability to effectively play at centre-forward.

"With him [Martial], he wasn't available for 90 minutes after his injury, but he gives on the ball a way out for the team," Ten Hag said. "He can be a target, he knows the right positions and he has the skills to play through. We saw that with the second goal.

"It was the right moment to bring him on the pitch."
