"Let's not forget he is still a very young lad as well.

To come over with his young family and start the way he has, he deserves a lot of credit."You can see what a good player he is and he'll be an important player for us from now until the end of the season. He is probably the quickest player in our team, if not the quickest in the league."Martial has largely been deployed in a wide left position for Man United this season .
