Anthony Martial introduced himself to the Manchester United fans with a debut goal against bitter rivals Liverpool back in 2015.

The Frenchman, who cost the Red Devils a whopping £36million, picked the ball up in the final third at Old Trafford, as United lead the Reds by two goals to one.

He then turned Martin Skrtel inside-out before slotting the ball neatly into the corner of the net, sending the United fans - and Martin Tyler - wild.

"Welcome to Manchester United, Anthony Martial..." shouted the legendary commentator as the youngster wheeled away in delight.

Red Devils supporters will be hoping Martial can replicate his debut when Liverpool visit Old Trafford on the weekend.

But it seems the club may be looking for someone other than the Frenchman to score, as he will cost them an absolute fortune if he hits the back of the net on Saturday.

The reason for this is that Martial has so far netted 24 Premier league goals for the Old Trafford club since his arrival.

When he bags his 25th he will trigger a lucrative clause in his contract that will require Manchester United to pay Monaco £7.2million.

There is a similar clause that will also be triggered should the France international win the Ballon d'Or. Fortunately for the club's finances, this particular milestone is still a little way off.

Manchester United drew 0-0 with Liverpool at Anfield in the first meeting between the two teams this season.

And Jose Mourinho will be looking for his side to take all three points from their bitter rivals, when they visit Manchester on Saturday.

Former Liverpool hero Dietmar Hamann has been previewing the match and believes the game will be similar to the first meeting between the two sides this season.

"I think against United you have to be patient and I don't think United will approach the game any differently to when they did at Anfield," Hamann told TAG Heuer.

"They do sit back, they like to play deep and play on the counter attack. And I think Mourinho has always been like this.

"He doesn't concede many goals or his teams don't concede many goals and I think patience will be key because when you've got a lot of possession against United then I think the most dangerous thing is always to think we'll be fine, we won't concede, now let's commit one or two players more forward, and I think this is where they can hit you."
