Former Monaco star Emmanuel Petit believes Anthony Martial can be a major part of Manchester United's title push this season.

Martial came off the bench to score in victory over West Ham on Sunday.

Petit told SFR Sport: "Manchester United, they are building a team to play for the title this year.

"They will play the Champions League, he (Martial) will have playing time and the competitions will be long until the end of the year. So going to Inter which is under reconstruction, there are a lot of uncertainties at this level there. It's a risk to take but I think he has the qualities to claim to play more at Manchester United.

"Whether it is on the left side or even in the centre, he has already shown that he has the instinct of the scorer."
