Europa League: Man Utd End Away Win Drought With Martial's Lone Strike
In what that can be regarded a the worst runs as it regards winning away from home in the club’s history, Manchester United finally broke the jinx in a 1-0 victory over Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday.
Martial’s goal which was the only goal of the encounter secured three points for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team as they maintain their perfect in the competition.
Martial hit the target just before half time from the penalty spot.
But most importantly the winning put an end to a drought since March 6, when they took down Paris Saint-Germain in a famous Champions League last-16 comeback victory.
