English Premier League kicks off with thrilling action: Weekend 1 overview
With new players, coaches and newly appointed captains from respective clubs, let’s analyse the matches that happened this opening English Premier League weekend.
He may have had a disappointing season with Manchester United, but French winger Anthony Martial looks set to be putting that behind him as he enjoys the summer by jetting off to an exotic location.
The 21-year-old, posted a picture of himself enjoying a dip in a pool on his Instagram profile with the caption “Holidays :)."
Martial, who made a £58 million move to United from French side Monaco in 2015, had a blistering start to life in England with 17 goals in all competitions in his debut season. His second season, however, was not up to the mark as he struggled to fit into Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans and managed to score just eight goals.

As a result of his sub-par performances for the Red Devils, Didier Deschamps decided to drop Martial from the France squad that are scheduled to play England on June 13 in an friendly.
With no international commitments now, it does not come as a surprise that Martial is recharging his batteries and will probably enjoy a month of time off before he reports back for pre-season training.
