Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said about the £36m Anthony Martial, who has scored four goals in four game since his move, before today's kick-off:

"Now he is only living in a hotel. The big step is when he settles himself and his wife in a new environment.

"The player himself is keen to learn. He is an open guy, he is listening, watching and he is focusing on the matches.

"For a manager he is a very coachable player and that is also why I like him and I bought him."
