Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is happy seeing Anthony Martial find his form this season.

Cantona admits he's a big fan of his fellow Frenchman.

Cantona said: "He is a young player and he made the right decision to come and play for United. United is a big club and Jose works a lot with the young players.

"He can play with United, play and win things in Europe, win the Premiership, and this will help him grow up and improve.

"You can go to a big club that doesn't care about improving a young player. But when he arrived at United he was 18 and took the right decision.

"He will become the great player we all expect."

Cantona also had plenty of praise for another French player, world record buy Paul Pogba, whom he described as the "brain" of the side and compared him to Real Madrid star Luka Modric.

He told FullTimeDevils: "I think he is a very creative player and every time you have a good player injured, you suffer. He is as important [for United] as Modric is for Real.

"When Modric is injured, it is not the same team and you can see in the last five or six years, every time he is injured, the team is not the same.

"Pogba is the brain of the team and Modric is the brain of Real Madrid."
