Manchester United summer signing Anthony Martial has received high praise from former Red Devils star David Beckham after his impressive start to the season.
Beckham was speaking to Sky Sports, and insisted that he was pleased to see Martial deliver after arriving with such a significant price-tag, with BBC Sport reporting a £36m fee.

The 19-year-old has scored three goals in two Premier League games since arriving at Old Trafford from Monaco prior to the transfer deadline earlier this month.
Louis van Gaal has since insisted that he will be able to manage the expectations surrounding the talented youngster, as reported by Sky Sports, but it remains to be seen how long Martial’s impact lasts.
While the French international is still somewhat of an unknown quantity currently, the true test will likely come when Premier League defences have had an opportunity to analyse his threat and can formulate a plan to nullify him.
If the former Monaco starlet can continue to produce in the coming weeks, then United supporters will undoubtedly start believing that van Gaal has produced a stroke of genius by signing him.
Martial will hope to continue his fine form when the Red Devils host strugglers Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon as they continue to try and cut the gap between themselves and table-toppers and rivals Manchester City.
