NEVILLE: MARTIAL IS AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN.

The France international joined the Reds from
AS Monaco on transfer deadline day and
immediately enamoured himself to supporters
by scoring the final goal in a 3-1 win over
Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Martial has since scored against Southampton
(2), Ipswich Town and CSKA Moscow to take
his personal tally to five goals in 13
appearances in all competitions. However, it is
his all-round ability and excellent contribution to
Louis van Gaal’s team that has impressed many
observers and pundits.
Neville is currently a coach with Valencia and
came across Martial when the La Liga
contenders beat Monaco 4-3 in this season’s
Champions League play-off round. Clearly
impressed, the Treble-winner predicted great
things for the player and has been pleased by
his progress at Old Trafford so far.
"From the very first time I saw him early in the
season, when we [Valencia] played Monaco in
the Champions League qualifying rounds, he
was someone who was devastating against us,"
Neville explains in a video posted on his
personal Twitter account. "Every time he got
the ball he made me nervous; he made our
defenders nervous because he likes to turn and
he likes to dribble.
"What I think he brings most to this Manchester
United team is genuine speed and speed on the
counter-attack, like we saw against Everton
when they went to Goodison Park and won, as
well as speed when United play a passing
football style under Louis van Gaal.
"He has brought genuine speed to the team, he
is strong and he is quick. People question the
amount of money that van Gaal paid but I think
United have got an absolute bargain and his
style suits the Premier League. I think there is
more to come. He is still young, he still learning
and there is more to come from this striker,
who I think could become one of the best in the
world."
