Anthony Martial finally returned to action for Manchester United last night and he made the difference, providing the only goal (which came on a spot kick) in his side’s triumph over Partizan Belgrade in UEL action.
Now it’s time for the Frenchman to resume his place in the starting XI when his side travels to Norwich City for a Premier League fixture Sunday. The Red Devils and Canaries have faced each other 69 previous times, with United leading the head to head series with 37 victories against Norwich’s 17. The two sides have spilt the points on 15 previous occasions.
Let’s take a look at who else may join Martial in the MUFC first team on the weekend. United now goes for back to back road wins.
Prior to last evening, they had not won an away match since that magical night in Paris, against PSG in last year’s UCL.
