Manchester United fans have praised Anthony Martial after his interaction with a ball boy during the victory against Liverpool on Monday night.
It was a brilliant evening for United fans as the team produced a great reaction to the heavy loss at Brentford. The Reds took the lead in the first half as Jadon Sancho showed plenty of composure to beat the outstretched arm of Alisson.
Martial would come on in place of Anthony Elanga at half-time with the Reds doubling their advantage soon after the interval. Marcus Rashford evaded the offside trap to smash home the second of the game.

Mohamed Salah would make life nervy for United fans when he headed home late on but it would end up being merely a consolation. The Reds' ability to defend from the front helped them over the line at Old Trafford.
However, it was not only brilliant defending that helped seal the three points. Martial's ability to slow down play in the dying embers of the match helped shatter any momentum Jurgen Klopp's side were hoping to build.
One particular moment was caught on camera as the French forward instructed a ball boy to take his time handing him the ball. The move will have infuriated Liverpool supporters but plenty of United fans loved Martial's quick thinking.
