TREBLE IS THE WORD
Anthony Martial is the first United player to score a Premier League hat-trick since Robin van Persie hit three past Aston Villa in April 2013. During that seven-year wait, Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit trebles in Europe – against Club Brugge and Saint-Etienne, respectively.
