Cantona suggested that Martial has skills of Brazilian Ronaldo, and lauded his decision to join Manchester United, as Old Traffrod is the best place to nurture talent.

“He’s very mature for his age. I think he’s the same kind of player as Ronaldo,” he told MUTV. “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 or 20 years old,” he continued.

“[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 [Cristiano] Ronaldo, the Portuguese Ronaldo, did when he came to play for United and for [Sir Alex] 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.”
