Rio Ferdinand and Manchester United fans react in unison after Anthony Martial goal

Anthony Martial found the back of net for Manchester United in their 3-0 win over Watford and it has led to reaction aplenty.

The United forward has had plenty of highs and lows this season as inconsistency continues to plague the Frenchman.

Martial looked to be continuing those issues against Watford when he missed a glaring chance but he once again showed his talent by providing a moment of pure class.

After Ben Foster saved his left-footed shot, the ball found itself to Martial again before he bamboozled the Watford defence with neat footwork and then a wonderful chip.

The goal had former star defender Rio Ferdinand reacting on Twitter, with Timothy Fosu-Mensah echoing the thoughts of the United great.


United fans also reacted in unison to the sensational effort.


Martial's goal was the second of the afternoon at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes giving the hosts the lead in the first half from the penalty spot.

Mason Greenwood completed the comfortable afternoon by scoring United's third of the game.

United are now up to fifth in the Premier League and they sit just three points adrift of Chelsea above them.
