Robin van Persie was the last Manchester United player to score a Premier League hat-trick until Anthony Martial managed one at last.
Anthony Martial ended Manchester United's seven-year wait for a Premier League hat-trick against Sheffield United.
The France forward struck twice in the first half against Chris Wilder's men before wrapping up the first hat-trick of his career with a fine goal 16 minutes from time.
Martial is the first United player to score three times in a league match since Robin van Persie did so against Aston Villa in 2013.
That 3-0 win, which featured a spectacular Van Persie volley from a raking Wayne Rooney pass, secured the title for the Red Devils in Alex Ferguson's final season in charge.
Since then, United have failed to win the top-flight title, coming closest in 2017-18 under Jose Mourinho when they finished second behind runaway champions Manchester City.
A total of 21 Premier League teams have scored hat-tricks since the start of the 2013-14 season, including Sunderland - who are now in England's third tier - twice.
Martial's hat-trick took him to 19 goals in all competitions in 2019-20, two more than his previous best haul for the club.

Carry on the good work. Man Utd under Ole has started to fell well. We were missing the link in mid field that is now provided by Bruno, Fred & Pogba. Matic was at its best yesterday. The movement of going forward with energy was the one missing under Jose, but the guile & swift passing from back is enterprising to see. Now the crucial game against Norwich for a silver ware under Ole could be game changer this season. My team selection for the game against Norwich will be Romero, Williams, Maguire, Baily, Dalot, Fred, Mctominay, Pogba,James, Mata, Ighalo. Rotating players & keeping players fresh would be essential as Utd could play 15 more games this season.

Everywhere is calm now about David De Gea because he didn't concede goal. Haters will not talk now... Shay the other person conceded three goals and nothing is been said or heard? If it was David that conceded three goals, the whole England yeye pundits will be screaming for his head now. Kposi Kposi
