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.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was ...
