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.

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others.
