Anthony Martial seems to have become a Man United super sub, much like Chicharito, judging from his impressive short outings in the Premier League this season.

The 21-yr old Frenchman who has played only 33 minutes of top-flight football this season already has 2 goals and an assist to his name.
To put his form into perspective, in the previous season, he had to wait until October to score twice, going on to score only 8 goals in total.
The boss hasn't failed to notice Martial's form though!
"We are using him well and he is coming with the right attitude," he said when asked about the striker on Saturday.
Martial's stats suggest he deserves to start especially considering his maturity and composure in front of goal has left him with a 100% conversion rate, having scored with his two shots on target.
His passing stats are even more impressive. He has completed 18 of the 20 passes he has attempted in that time, that's a cool 90% success rate.

Martial has had 2 shots on target this season scoring both of them
The striker has his work cut out to force his way into the starting lineup with Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also in form.
Jose Mourinho admitted it would be hard to change a team that's winning 4-0 and if you ask him, that's a good headache for him to have.
"We had a conversation abut the future he has here, and I think he has a good connection on the pitch with Paul and Romelu. He is coming and growing in confidence.
"Of course, two periods of 20 minutes and he has scored two goals. That is great for his confidence. Of course he wants to play, he wants to start, he wants to be selected for the national team, to go to the World Cup, so that is good.
"For me it is simple. I cannot play in the Champions League, the Premier League and the cups with 11 players. I need the squad."
Mourinho believes the French-speaking contigent in the team namely Marouane Fellaini, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku is helping bring the best out of Martial.

Martial has reiterated his desire to win the World Cup with France in 2018
"Anthony is working well, really well. Maybe the little group of French-speaking players - Fellaini, Paul, Lukaku - is a group where he is very well integrated and they bring him up. His professional level has improved and we are happy. We have lots of hopes for him and he can only improve."
Judging with his recent attitude and performances, we should be in one hell of a ride with Martial scoring for fun this season.
