The French forward acquired a whopping 76 per cent of our vote, ahead of defender Victor Lindelof (16 per cent) and his compatriot Paul Pogba (eight per cent), after a stellar month in which he helped United to wins over Newcastle and Everton, plus a creditable draw away at Chelsea.

Martial netted four goals in four starts during the period, including a double at Stamford Bridge and a delectable winner from outside the box against the Toffees last weekend. The former Monaco man also struck home a fierce equaliser against Newcastle, after a slick combination with Pogba, to continue the superb second-half comeback that culminated in Alexis Sanchez's late winner.
