Your support makes all the difference.Anthony Martial's wife surprised her husband with a Manchester United themed birthday cake yesterday.
The summer signing turned 20 and to mark the occasion partner Samantha got him an Old Trafford cake, complete with an edible mini-Martial. Never has the Theatre of Dreams looked so good.
But whilst a thoughtful gift for the young Frenchman, the cake also went some way to exonerating Samantha after her recent stadium related gaffe.
In an attempt to show her support for her husband, Samantha tried to post a picture of Old Trafford on social media, only she shared a picture of Arsenal's Emirates stadium instead. Inevitably it led to much ridicule from fans of both clubs involved, but thankfully for Samantha's social media followers it hasn't deterred her from continuing to offer an insight into her life.
The cake, which included a Stretford End and two candles, might have have gone some way to cheering up Martial who was involved in Manchester United's frustrating 0-0 draw with West Ham on Saturday.
The youngster is likely to be in action again on Tuesday when his side play a crucial Champions League tie against Wolfsburg.
