Martial appreciates song Man Utd fans have for him

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial appreciates the song fans have for him.

Martial has received unwavering support from United fans, who have even adopted their own chant “Tony Martial came from France" which is sung from the terraces to give their vocal backing to the forward.

It's something Martial appreciates and uses as motivation to go the extra mile on the pitch for the Reds.

When asked if he becomes aware of the fans singing the chant, he told manutd.com: “Yes, it's always nice to hear that song. It really pushes you to do even better, it really makes you want to give everything you've got to not let those fans down in any way.

“I honestly think that every time they sing it, I always feel just as happy as the first time I heard it.

“I do get messages sent to me by lots of fans and I try to reply to them from time to time. I don't go on social media that often, though I do try to respond now and again. And in the street, there are always those who shout things like 'Keep going!' and 'I hope you score!', nice messages of encouragement. It always does you good to hear them."
