Anthony Martial: What I've learned from Wayne Rooney at Manchester United
ANTHONY MARTIAL has revealed that he believes racking up assists is just as important as scoring goals.
Anthony Martial is seen as Wayne Rooney's long-term replacement
The Frenchman arrived at Man United last summer for a fee that could reach £60.6million and has eight goals and three assists so far this season.
And despite the pressure of the massive price tag and United's goalscoring difficulties under Louis van Gaal, Martial is relaxed about his own goals.
"I have always been considered as an altruistic person," Martial said.
"[I improve] by training every day with talented players," Martial added.
"Especially with Rooney, I learn a lot from him.
"I always try to get inspired from him so that I can also become a great player."
