Manchester United have seemingly mapped out plans for life after Anthony Martial and, yet, the Erik ten Hag favourite might get one final chance at redemption - 12 months after his last one.
It seemed unthinkable, this time a year ago, the Frenchman would remain at Old Trafford beyond the summer but that is exactly what happened and Ten Hag effectively put his working relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo at risk to shine light on Martial as his main man.
With four goals and two assists to show from his early-season appearances, that decision was vindicated and Ronaldo - for reasons best left ignored - called time on his second coming. It was Martial who Ten Hag desired front and centre as he shaped United in his own guise.
