Anthony Martial is making a case for an increased playing time after helping Manchester United open the scoring against Real Madrid on Sunday.
The French forward left a handful of defenders in his wake as he weaved in and out of challenges before laying off a pass to Jesse Lingard for the open-net goal.
It was the type of run that might force Jose Mourinho to consider giving the 21-year-old an increased workload this upcoming season following a disappointing 2016-17 campaign when Martial failed to solidify himself as a regular starter during the Portuguese gaffer's first season at Old Trafford.
