Martial wins rare praise from Man Utd legend Scholes

Manchester United super sub Anthony Martial has been praised for his impact on their Europa League clash on Thursday.

The Red Devils secured a hard fought 3-2 win away from home against Omonia in the group stages.

United went behind in the game, before substitutes Marcus Rashford and Martial scored to make it 2-1 in the second half.

Speaking on BT Sport, club legend Paul Scholes praised Martial: “He came on and he was loud, doing everything, running in behind and he did the kind of finish you expect from Martial.

“I think every United fan knows he has real talent, and we need to see it more often.

“He has had a quiet 18 months due to injuries and going out on loan. There is potential for him to score lots of goals for Manchester United, I just hope he can take his chance now."
