David de Gea: Man United goalkeeper explains why Erik Ten Hag is fumbling after horror show vs Brentford
FootballThe French forward had dazzled during preseason under Erik ten hag and was unfortunate to pick up the injury. He is now back and looking to return to his best under the new manager.
But apart from the assist, Martial also deliberately wasted time as the game wound down to the delight of United fans. He won a corner off Liverpool's substitute Konstantinos Tsimikas and with United already leading, he was in no hurry to take it.
In the video, Martial is seen asking the ball boy to slow down when giving the ball back to him in an attempt to shave off a few more seconds from the clock.
He then goes ahead and embraces the ball boy before proceeding to the corner flag at a slow pace.
The forward will be hoping to be a regular member of Ten Hag's side as Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains uncertain.

FootballAt the same time, Sports Brief reported that Erik Ten Hag tasted victory for the first time as his Manchester United side defeated arch-rivals, Liverpool. A peach of a goal from English winger Jadon Sancho and a second-half strike from Marcus Rashford ensured United grab their first three points of the season after suffering defeats in their opening two games.
But the pick of the goals was Sancho's Messi-Esque goal which drew first blood for the Red Devils and set the tone for the United victory.
His goal sent supporters at Old Trafford into raptures, but Sancho's strike did not only appeal to the fanbase as the entire United bench, including superstar Cristiano Ronaldo gave the 22-year-old forward a standing ovation.
