Former Monaco striker Mickael Madar says Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial deserves his France recall.

Madar rates Martial ahead of Marseille winger Florian Thauvin.

He told Le Parisen: "Martial is very powerful and very fast. He has enormous qualities. He's a phenomenon. I really like this player.

"I will even tell you better: intrinsically, he is much better than Florian Thauvin who has the status of world champion but without playing.

"There are, for me, places to take in France's team. If Martial plays at his true level, he can largely run the match with Thauvin."
