| Anthony Martial has been in sensational form for United |
ANDY COLE has backed Anthony Martial to become a Manchester United hero.
He joined for an initial £36million, rising to £58m with add-ons.
He made an instant impact, scoring on his debut against Liverpool, before hitting a double against Southampton on his first Premier League start
And Cole, a former United number nine, admits he's been blown away by the 19-year-old.
"I like him," Cole told MUTV. "I do like him. I've got to be honest, I didn't know a lot about him before he came to United. I watched him play against Arsenal last season but the way he has come in, he's made a great impression.
"He's got good feet and great pace. In the modern game, it's important to have great pace and he's got that in abundance. He looks a great player and has got off to a great start. It looks like he's got the right temperament as well.

| Martial has scored three Premier League goals in his first month |
"He uses his body very well. He only looks like a slight chap but he gets hold of the ball, he's got good feet and he is prepared to run at people and take them on. He got his debut goal and we know he's got quality there. Long may it continue for the boy.
"We know football has peaks and troughs and ups and downs but he seems very level-headed. He has come in and he's settled really well so it looks like he will do well for Manchester United."
United dropped to third after they were stunned by Arsenal at the Emirates in their last Premier League outing.
Arsene Wenger's side blew United away inside 20 minutes with United having gone into the weekend in top spot.
They face Everton away on Saturday as Roberto Martinez looks to build on their good form.
The Toffees are five games unbeaten in the league and sit just two points below the top four.
