STAR MAN MARTIAL AIMS FOR MORE
Anthony Martial says he hopes he can maintain the fine form which led to him scooping Manchester United's Player of the Month award for the third time this season, following his January triumph.
The forward also collected the prize in September and October and he kicked off 2018 with three goals in the opening three league games, including a vital winner away at Burnley.
Martial described his latest accolade, as voted for by the fans, as "a real honour" and he's determined to keep the goals flowing.
"I feel really good at the moment, I’m training hard and, to be fair, with the matches and results since the new year, we've made a decent start, so I hope we can continue in the same vein," he told MUTV.
"It's a real honour for me that the supporters have voted for me. I think now it’s the third time it’s happened this season. I just hope I can keep this run going and maybe even try and win a few more of them!"
A busy run of fixtures lies ahead for the Reds - who will battling across three fronts in the next fortnight, with a league trip to Newcastle United, an Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie at Huddersfield Town and a UEFA Champions League visit to Sevilla to come.
"We all like it when we’re playing every three days, that’s football at the highest level these days," added Martial. "We’re always ready and prepared and, what’s more, we have the squad to cope with the amount of games, so it’s an exciting period ahead."
