France coach Didier Deschamps is full of praise for Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial.

Martial has become a regular for France, having started recent Nations League wins over Portugal and Croatia.

Deschamps praised Martial's performance in Saturday's 1-0 victory in Portugal, saying he had developed a winning mentality.

“He lacked in finishing - it seemed a little bit clumsy," Deschamps admitted in an interview with TF1.

"But sincerely, having watched the moments again, it came down to small margins.

"He is part of the group of players who have not been here for a long period of time, but he has changed during this period, on the pitch and off of it.

"With years, he has also gained maturity. He is much more determined - he already had quality. Things are more concrete.

"I feel a bit unfortunate for him because he was not rewarded with a goal, but he is very promising."
