Anthony Martial: Manchester United can win the Champions League and the Premier League this season

Ambition: Martial believes Manchester United can win two pieces of silverware this season
Sam Long11 October 2015

Anthony Martial believes Manchester United can win both the Premier League and the Champions League this season.

The 19-year-old was relatively unknown prior to his deadline day move to Old Trafford but has enjoyed a blistering start to his Red Devils career and is in no doubt that his new teammates are capable of winning two pieces of silverware.

"I think we can win the Premier League and the Champions League this season. Both of them. We are among the top five clubs [in Europe]," he insisted.

United are currently third in the Premier League table, two points adrift of pacesetters Manchester City, and have not won the title since Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in charge.

Louis van Gaal's side have also endured an indifferent start to their European campaign after suffering a surprise defeat against PSV Eindhoven before recovering to see off Wolfsburg on match day two.

Martial is currently on international duty with France and is delighted with how his career in England has started.

The striker only needed a matter of minutes to open his account in front of the Stretford End and is determined not to let the pressure of his £36m price tag affect him on the field of play.

"It is going well so far. I have had a great welcome from the fans. I don't think about my price on the pitch.

"The goal against Liverpool, the big enemy of the club, allowed the fans to get to know me a bit better."

United's next fixture is against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday October 17 before they travel to Russia to face CSKA Moscow four days later.
