Most I celebrated a Man United goal ever I'm pretty sure! In fact was rooting for them the whole game which was a slightly weird experience but too many players that I'm rooting for on their team currently. Martial, Darmian and Herrera in particular but I'm also starting to seriously appreciate Daley Blind.
Will also say about Martial's goal, that while some fortune was in play, he does have an athletic/technical knack of maintaining control and pace with the ball in those situations coming out with it with good balance in even more crowded spaces than a 1v1 with Skrtel.

He is doing very well and has looked, along with the partnership as a whole, extremely comfortable in every game. He plays so smart and everything has been to his strengths so far. Of course Smalling putting it all together + Lvg balance helps a lot but still very impressive the fine all-round player he is proving himself to be.

yeah you definitely don't want him distributing or with dominant time on the ball. I'm in limbo what he should become. maybe cb really would be the most sensible way to go and the eventual end destination for him but maybe there is still hope for some kind of well defined box to box midfield role but again apart from in youth tournaments with a clear physical edge over everyone he's never looked great in midfield and has frequently been very bad.
