​Ex-Man Utd star predicts success for latest Old Trafford signing Martial

Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville is currently assistant coach at Valencia, who knocked Monaco out of the Champions League this season and has witnessed Anthony Martial first hand.

"Of the two games and video footage I witnessed of him he is a top, top striker," Neville told Football Focus.

"He is quick, he is strong and likes to drift out to the left. When you are sat on the bench and every time he got the ball I thought, no, get the ball away from him! He looks so dangerous and so direct.

"He is perfectly suited for the Premier League. I think it is a very good signing. It is a lot of money. Everybody in Spain can't believe the amount spent in England, they can't stop laughing at the fees we pay."
