Anthony Martial

“When I get onto the pitch, I block out everything around it, and I really focus on the pitch.”

“Someone like Cristiano Ronaldo focuses on scoring to progress, so perhaps I need to think more about scoring.”

“I think the greatest goal I've ever scored is the one against Liverpool. It was amazing for me, and it really made my name in the Manchester team.”

“It's not easy to speak about myself, but I am a very fast player.”

“It's true that the atmosphere here is quite different from the one in France. People live and breathe football here, and that's what I like. Every footballer wants to play in the Premier League.”

“Football. It sounds simple, but it's always been the case - I don't see myself living without playing.”

“Thierry Henry is Thierry Henry. I still have everything to prove. By continuing to work, I will try to reach his level, but I am still very far off.”

“I don't go out a lot, as I like to stay in. I often go for dinners with my girlfriend, and I love to see movies at the cinema, but I don't understand them.”

“The atmosphere at Old Trafford is really unique, and when you're a bit tired, they really help you: they shout out your name, and that gives you extra energy.”

“The Premier League is more physically demanding than Ligue 1. I love English football; it's the best in the world in my opinion, and I hope to stay here for many years to come.”

“I remember my very first training session. It was raining hard. It was cold, and I went home. I couldn't train. I stayed for ten minutes then told my dad to take me home.”

“Greatness for me is the ability to focus under pressure.”

“I get on well with everybody. I've always been like that.”

“I have many aspects of my game I need to improve, and that's what I am focusing on. I prefer not to say what they are in public - for me, it's a secret, and I just want to work hard.”

“If I was to become an icon, then I'd be very happy. I'll need to score a lot of goals, and the team will need to pick up trophies, though.”

“With time, I will progress even more, and I will be more mature to score even more goals.”

“In France, it's easy to know which team is going to win the game, whereas in England, anywhere you play, you know it's going to be difficult.”

“I'm quite a reserved person, a bit shy at first when I don't know someone. I like to have a laugh and a joke; people have seen that in me.”

“I must continue to work hard in training. I need to think more like a goal scorer; sometimes I get so immersed in the game because I love general play so much.”

“I love Manchester. I like being here, and certainly I see myself being here for a good while yet.”
