Arsenal legend believes Man United star could soon be worth over £72m

Despite having regularly been sucked into relegation battles due to all manner of problems (which I wrote about for SB Nation’s main site earlier in the week), they’ve had an annoyingly good record against United over the last couple of years.

After his stunning effort against Liverpool, the young Frenchman has followed up that strike with three more against Southampton and Ipswich Town. Also, youngster Paddy McNair is out with an unconfirmed injury with his return date also yet to be confirmed. Whether that is coming from the right side where I’m playing now, from the No 10 or even from the left side.

Last time the two teams faced off against each other, it was the home side who ran out winners after a brace from captain Wayne Rooney saw United win 2-0 at home to Sunderland.

Martial could become the first Manchester United player to score four premier league goals in his first four league games and against Sunderland he’ll be expecting to score. Sunderland have only managed to win 12 of those matches. “The Premier League is a tough league and a long one, so there’s still a long way to go”.

Meanwhile, the Black Cats are still winless after six tries. While left-back Patrick van Aanholt’s place is under threat after the Dutchman’s unconvincing start to the season.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Mata, Memphis, Rooney, Martial.

With four goals in three appearances for United, the 19-year-old is now averaging a goal every 56 minutes in English football. The teenagers start has surprised most people, who all believed that £38m for the previously little known striker was a panic buy from Louis Van Gaal. If we can shore up a leaky defence and the forward line begin to click, we should be fine – I’ll go with 16th. “I always had in my head the dream that if I’m going to play in the Premier League it would be for Manchester United with the tradition and the philosophy”.

Fresh off the back of his suspension Kaboul needs to bounce back.

Lee Cattermole will have a regular place in Dick Advocaat’s first-choice Sunderland XI, if he can put his troubled start to the season behind him.
