​Man Utd boss Solskjaer delighted with Martial performance

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with the performance of Anthony Martial in a friendly against Tottenham.

The two Premier League sides played out an intense friendly in Shanghai, with United getting a 2-1 win.

Martial hit the post in the first half and then gave his team a 1-0 lead. And his boss was very pleased with his contribution.

Solskjaer said in his press conference about the French forward: "Yeah, he played well.

"He was unlucky a couple of times when he was played through by Andy [Pereira] – including that left-footed strike [which hit the post].

"I don't think it's a foul when he closes the centre-back down too.

"So it was a great workout by Anthony and I'm very happy with his performance."
