The French striker returned to his best level against the Eagles 

Manchester United’s striker Anthony Martial lived a great night against Crystal Palace in the United’s 3-0 win against the Eagles in the third round of the 2023/2024 FA Cup, allowing him to break a horrible streak with the Red Devils, and try to convince Ten Hag of his abilities to lead the forward line of the team.

The French international, who spent a greatest part of the preseason recovering from a hamstring injury suffered last season, has played six games for Manchester United this season, four of them in the Premier League, ready to improve his stats from last season, where he completed 29 games in all the season, with 21 played in the Premier League.

In this respect, he would have already put the first milestone for their goal with his performance against Crystal Palace, as he ended a horrible scoreless streak with Manchester United despite wearing the club’s iconic number 9 shirt. It happened at the 55th minute of the game, when he received a Casemiro crossed pass and finished it with a great left footed shot tight to the far post to score the third goal for the Red Devils in the game.

The striker had not scored since 25 May last season

With his goal, Martial ended a terrible streak, returning to score with Manchester United since 25 May against Chelsea last season, and the goal would help him this season as his coach Erik Ten Hag confirmed in the after game press conference. "Martial? Superb finish. It's important, it will give him confidence. Very happy and satisfied with his performance", said the Dutchman
