The Frenchman will be eager for a better performance in their forthcoming match as he wipes off the rust after a long stint away from first-team action.
Sevilla had a difficult evening in which they wasted a chance to win by missing a stoppage-time penalty. The 26-year-old looked slow throughout the game until being removed with 14 minutes remaining.
Last month, after reports that he refused to play as a substitute against Aston Villa, Martial had a public confrontation with interim Red Devils manager Ralf Rangnick.
On social media, the forward rejected the charges and eventually forced through his loan to the LaLiga side till the end of the season.
His debut, however, did not go as planned, as he would have hoped to prove his worth as they attempt to challenge Real Madrid for the league crown.
The second-placed team was unable to break down their formidable opponents, with Youssef En-finest Nesyri’s opening coming in the final seconds.
He, on the other hand, fired straight into Sergio Herrera’s arms.
In extra time, they had another big chance, but Ivan Rakitic squandered a golden opportunity from 12 yards.
Sevilla is still three points behind Real Madrid in the standings.
Following his debut, Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui has urged on-loan Manchester United forward Anthony Martial to do more.
‘Anthony has to give us a lot more,’ Lopetegui stated, according to the Sevilla website. ‘It was his first game, and adjusting is difficult; he hasn’t played much this year, and he has to get into the rhythm of things and acquire minutes and confidence.’
