Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has claimed that there is more to Anthony Martial's game than scoring goals.

The 19-year-old striker has registered four goals in five appearances since joining United from AS Monaco at the beginning of the month.

However, Neville has said that he has been impressed with Martial's all-round game rather than his goalscoring prowess.

"He's made a big difference," the former defender told Sky Sports News. "He has transformed the front end of the team.

"I was expecting Manchester United to have signed a winger-forward, but what they have actually signed looks like a number nine; someone who can lead the line, and, if he's not scoring goals and not running in behind, provide a point for attacks - and I never expected that.

"In the first three weeks he couldn't have made any greater impact upon me in terms of how he's settled in, the goals he's scored, the threat he's provided, the transformation of the team, but also the fact that he can physically handle himself, push big men out of the way, hold the ball and turn in one movement."

Martial moved to Old Trafford for a fee believed to be in the region of £36m.
