Man Utd veteran Mata: Martial has incredible career ahead of him

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says team-mate Anthony Martial is a "big talent" and still has "an incredible career ahead of him".

Martial joined the club for an initial £36m when he was just 19-years-old in 2015 and has gone on to score 36 goals in 116 league games.

There has been some criticism of the forward since his arrival at Old Trafford, but Mata still believes the Frenchman will have a great career.

When asked how big Martial's future could be, Mata told : "I hope it's really big. He is an incredibly talented player. You can see that since the moment he arrived to the club in his first game against Liverpool. In every training session, the way he treats the ball, the way he takes on people, the way he can win a game by himself."
