Yesterday evening, along with the 2016 European Championship qualifiers, a friendly match took place between Denmark and the championship host France. In this match, the opportunity in the starting lineup was given to nineteen-year-old "Manchester United" talent Anthony Martial, who became the youngest player to start a match for the national team since Karim Benzema in 2007. The forward terrorized the opponent's goal from the very first minutes and in the fourth minute made a great pass to Olivier Giroud, who scored a goal. Despite the fact that the "Arsenal" sniper scored again after a few moments, Martial did not stop causing headaches for the Danish defenders on the left side throughout the match. The player, who cost 36 million pounds to the "Red Devils," was arguably the only one threatening the opponent's goal all evening, and in the 62nd minute he had a real chance to score when he got past Lars Jacobsen. However, the shot was saved by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Furthermore, Martial later made another precise pass to Olivier Giroud, but he failed to capitalize on his opportunity. In the match, which the French eventually won 2-1, it was once again evident that "Manchester United's" money was likely not wasted this summer.
