Martial treble fires Man United past Sheffield United

Anthony Martial scored Manchester United’s first Premier League hat-trick for more than seven years as he monopolised the scoring in a 3-0 win over Sheffield United.

Martial revelled in his role at the centre of an attack featuring Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford, with the latter claiming the first of two assists in the seventh minute.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka made a mockery of questions over his attacking capabilities from right-back as he tormented Enda Stevens to set up Martial’s second a minute before half-time.

A clever chip completed his treble – becoming the first United player to do so in England’s top flight since Robin van Persie against Aston Villa in April 2013.
