Manchester United cruise past West Ham to move
one step from Wembley with resurgent Martial and Ibrahimovic both netting twice
Tony Martial scored. And then Tony Martial
scored again. And now Manchester United are three games from the first trophy
of the Jose Mourinho era. With Liverpool and Southampton still in the mix it is
not going to be easy, but Mourinho has always set store in laying down a marker
by winning the first real trophy of the season and, wherever he was in the
stadium, he will have been mightily pleased by this result, and this
performance.
Pleased by Martial, too. He seemed to suggest a week ago that the
striker was running out of time to impress, with Old Trafford’s songs about the
prolific nature of his scoring feats – and the value he represented at £50m –
seeming increasingly optimistic.
