| Anthony Martial has scored five goals for Manchester United this season |
PHIL NEVILLE believes Anthony Martial could prove to be an "absolute bargain" for Manchester United.
Some fans were sceptical over the hefty price-tag that Louis van Gaal paid for the 19-year-old striker - who had scored eight goals in 31 Ligue 1 appearances prior to his move.
And Neville admits he was also unsure of what to expect from the teenager when he first arrived at Old Trafford.
"From the very first time I saw him early in the season, when we [Valencia] played Monaco in the Champions League qualifying rounds, he was someone who was devastating against us," Neville explains in a video posted on his personal Twitter account.

| Phil Neville says Anthony Martial can become of the world's best |
"Every time he got the ball he made me nervous; he made our defenders nervous because he likes to turn and he likes to dribble.
But the Frenchman silenced his critics when he scored on his debut against Liverpool and began his career under van Gaal with four goals in his first four games for the Red Devils.
And Neville believes that the Dutchman made the right decision in taking a gamble with Martial.
"What I think he brings most to this Manchester United team is genuine speed and speed on the counter-attack, like we saw against Everton when they went to Goodison Park and won, as well as speed when United play a passing football style under Louis van Gaal," Neville added.
"He has brought genuine speed to the team, he is strong and he is quick. People question the amount of money that Van Gaal paid but I think United have got an absolute bargain and his style suits the Premier League.
"I think there is more to come. He is still young, he still learning and there is more to come from this striker, who I think could become one of the best in the world."
