Anthony Martial has been praised for his impact in Manchester United's win over Cypriot side Omonia in the Europa League by former club players Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves.
The French forward made an immediate impact as he scored the go-ahead goal for the Red Devils just one minute after being introduced to the game as a second-half substitute.
United went on to win the game 3-2 as Marcus Rashford scored the other two goals for the club, despite having gone behind in the first half.

Martial spent time out on loan at LaLiga side Sevilla last season and his days at Manchester United had looked numbered, but under Erik ten Hag he has impressed when he has been on the pitch.
The 26-year-old has scored three goals and assisted one more in his three appearances in all competitions this season, but has struggled with niggling injuries that have hurt his time on chances of being picked.
Scholes was happy with Martial's performance, and believes that he can continue to score goals for the club.
