MAN UNITED’S NEW €49million teenager has been handed a starting spot for tonight’s Champions League clash away to PSV Eindhoven.

19-year-old Anthony Martial has made an impressive start to life at United, scoring after making his debut as a substitute in the side’s 3-1 win over Liverpool at the weekend.

Marouane Fellaini drops to the bench, while Louis van Gaal makes one other change from the win over Liverpool, with Ashley Young coming in for Michael Carrick.

But Martial very nearly didn’t make it to the Philips Stadion after the Manchester United team bus pulled away from their Eindhoven hotel without him earlier this evening.

The youngster did turn up moments later, casually making his way from the hotel exit, and the bus stopped to allow him get on.
