Manchester United fans hijack Anthony Martial post to deliver same Erik ten Hag message

Manchester United supporters hijacked the latest Instagram post from Anthony Martial to deliver the same message to newly appointed manager Erik ten Hag.

Martial, 26, was on target for United in their pre-season victory over Liverpool as other goals from Jadon Sancho, Fred and Facundo Pellistri ensured a dream start for Ten Hag in his first game at the helm. United were full value for their 4-0 win and really caught the eye at the Rajamangala Stadium.

It was a significant match for Martial, too, as he encounters a cross-roads in his United career. He was cast aside by United last season and his loan spell at Sevilla did not go to plan, either, as that January move was followed by nine goalless outings.

Returning to Old Trafford this summer, Martial was thrust into the action in Thailand and he repaid the faith shown in him with a well-taken strike. However, had Cristiano Ronaldo headed on tour, the France international would likely not have made the cut when Ten Hag named his first starting XI.

Martial celebrated his return by uploading several pictures onto his Instagram profile, and that prompted response after response from United supporters who want to see Ten Hag give Martial further chances in the team:

@de.busy said: "We hope to see you stronger and in good form."

@tob_chanchai posted: "Beautiful chip and game. Continue shining."

@unitedupdatez added: "Full confidence Martial is too good."

@helbertnyaki said: "Big season ahead. That showed great spirit."

@drmo1990 posted: "Prove yourself Anthony. Don't be lazy this year."

@overdfuture added: "Just focus and work harder. You are a true baller."

@max.hiblot said: "Welcome back champ. We have missed you."

@abekkaras posted: "Keep up the good work... £50million down the drain."

@billy_wright_22 added: "CR7 can hold the bench. Martial is back."
