Louis Van Gaal: Man United striker Anthony Martial will only get better

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes new striker Anthony Martial will only get better.

The Frenchman has netted three times in his first two Premier League appearances, but Van Gaal says there's a lot more to come from the teenager.

"He needs to adapt to the English culture, he is doing great - three matches in a row and three goals," the Dutchman said of his new forward.

"He cannot speak English, I speak French with him. I need help with that from Marouane Fellaini and Morgan Schneiderlin, it is very difficult but he is willing to speak English.

"When you are 19 years old, you cannot expect consistency. Emotionally they shall have a lot of dips so that I expect also from him but that is not a big problem for me.

"I'm very happy that he is in three matches and his talent is at a high level and he adapts to the system of how we want to play, that is also important, not every player can adapt in that system but he shows he wants to do that and he can do that.

"He scores goals. That is the most important thing, that as a striker he scores goals. He can improve I think but he has a high level of talent. He shows it."
