United legend and fellow Frenchman Eric Cantona has also been impressed with Martial's debut season at his former club. Speaking to MUTV, Cantona has compared Martial to Ronaldo.... No, not that one: the Brazilian one.
“He’s very mature for his age. I think he’s the same kind of player as Ronaldo," Cantona said.
"Of course Ronaldo is a Brazilian, but he’s as strong as him. Martial is skilful, he wants to score goals and he has good vision.
"At Manchester it’s a great club for young players when you are in the Academy and also when you are 18/19/20 years old. [At that age] you need to go and play for a great team and also you need to work with people who will help you because you’re still a young player, just as Ronaldo, the Portuguese Ronaldo, did when he came to play for United and for Ferguson.
“He had the opportunity to win trophies but also Ferguson helped him to be the player he is today. And I think he [Martial] has been very clever to choose Manchester United."
