Martial Scores As Manchester United Beat Partizan Belgrade

By Daily Sports on October 25, 2019

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his Manchester United side need to “try to build momentum” after Anthony Martial's penalty secured their first away win since March at Partizan Belgrade.

It ensured United moved top of their Europa League group and will qualify for the knockout stages if they beat Partizan in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford on 7 November.

“We need to win away from home in the league, but another clean sheet and that gives you a platform to win games from,” said Solskjaer, whose team last won a Premier League away game in February at Crystal Palace.

Martial, making his first start since August, sent Vladimir Stojkovic the wrong way from 12 yards after United's 19-year-old defender Brandon Williams won the spot-kick.

Williams' burst forward to draw a foul from Nemanja Miletic was one of the the few bright spots in an otherwise uninspiring United display.
