Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole hopes that Anthony Martial can continue his excellent start to life at Old Trafford.
The 19-year old Frenchman has bagged four goals since joining from Monaco on transfer deadline day, and further enhanced his reputation on international duty after putting in an impressive performance on his full France debut as they beat Denmark in Copenhagen.
Cole, who was speaking at the Old Trafford Megastore to promote the launch of United’s new partnership with New Era, told the official Manchester United website that he was impressed with Martial’s seamless start to life in Manchester.
“I like him,” the ex-England international said. “I do like him. I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t know a lot about him before he came to United. I watched him play against Arsenal last season but the way he has come in, he’s made a great impression.”
He’s got good feet and great pace. In the modern game, it’s important to have great pace and he’s got that in abundance. He looks a great player and has got off to a great start. It looks like he’s got the right temperament as well.
“He uses his body very well. He only looks like a slight chap but he gets hold of the ball, he’s got good feet and he is prepared to run at people and take them on. He got his debut goal and we know he’s got quality there. Long may it continue for the boy.”
“We know football has peaks and troughs and ups and downs but he seems very level-headed. He has come in and he’s settled really well so it looks like he will do well for Manchester United.”
