Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final hero Anthony Martial makes the cover of The National Sport on Sunday, April 24, 2016 after his late winner secured his team's place in next month's final at Everton's expense.

The French striker settled the match in the dying minutes after Chris Smalling’s 75th-minute own goal had allowed Everton back into the match following Marouane Fellaini’s first-half header.

Louis van Gaal started with Wayne Rooney in midfield, and the Manchester United manager's faith was repaid with a solid display and a pass completion rate of 92.9 per cent from his captain.

United will learn who their opponents in next month’s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium will be on Sundya when Watford and Crystal Palace contest the second semi-final.
