Manchester United defender Chris Smalling says Anthony Martial can handle anything Arsenal's defence throws at him today.

The £36m French striker, 19, was also being eyed by Arsenal when United swooped for the Monaco ace.

“Anthony has added that injection of unpredictability up front, where he can turn players and run at them – I'm definitely happy I'm not facing him," said Smalling.

“But I play against him in training and I know he's a handful. He's probably the one forward I'd stick at the top of the list of who I WOULDN'T want to play against at the moment.

“We play 11 v 11 in training and he's quick, has that skill and people are surprised how strong he is – he can handle himself."
