Juan Mata reveals Anthony Martial's new Manchester United nickname

Man Utd winger Anthony Martial continued his impressive run of form with two goals in the 3-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League fixture on Saturday.

Juan Mata has a new nickname for Manchester United team mate Anthony Martial.

Anthony Martial scored a brilliant goal for Manchester United in their 3-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League.

Picking the ball up in his own half, Martial drove forward, shrugged off two challenges, and placed the ball past Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico.

The goal was the forward's first in the league since his goal in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game as United manager, adding to his FA Cup breakaway goal at Arsenal last month.

And while he has been rotated in recent games for Alexis Sanchez, Martial remains United's biggest threat from the wing - highlighted at Craven Cottage with his wonderful goal.

Martial added an assist against Fulham to take his season's tally to 11 goals and two assists in all competitions this season, and teammate Juan Mata took to Twitter after the game and reveal a new nickname for United's number 11.

Mata posted a picture of himself celebrating with Martial, saying: "Listen @AnthonyMartial, you are very good at playing football, you know that right?" with the hashtag "#FrenchRonaldo'.

PLAYER RATINGS: How we marked United's team

The nickname is high praise indeed, likening Martial to former United winger and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

Martial clearly approved, replying "Ahah Love you El Mago".

Martial also received praise from goalkeeper David De Gea, who tweeted a list of achievements arising from today's win including the three points, clean sheet, noisy away fans - and 'seeing Martial's goal live' followed by a grinning emoji.

It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
