Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is promising the club's supporters that he will be back to his best.

The French forward endured a difficult previous campaign on a personal level, as he struggled with form and fitness.

But Martial has put his injury issues behind him, and has looked sharp in preseason.

"I am feeling a lot better after five long months," he told the club's website.

"Getting back together with the team and training with them again, I really feel a great improvement. I am going to need a few more weeks to reach my top fitness levels, and I'm really happy just now to have made my return to training.

"To be honest, I was really happy to start [against Everton] after those long months without playing, it was tremendous to get back out there, especially with the fans and the win, brilliant.

"With the season I had last year, and the niggling injuries I had which prevented me from being at 100 per cent, I've since put in my best prep work, so as to be sure of coming back in the best form I can.

"And I hope I can get to my full fitness level as quickly as possible now, to set me up for a great season this time round.

"I hope to avoid injury, of course, and to be really ready and in top shape fitness-wise, to be able to have a great season, and win some trophies."
