Modest Mart is four-midable

LOUIS van Gaal once again tried to play down expectations surrounding Anthony Martial after he scored his fourth goal in fou games for Manchester United.

United strolled into the fourth round of the Capital One Cup with a routine 3–0 win over Championship side Ipswich at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney scored his first goal in domestic competition this season and Andreas Pereira converted a stunning free–kick on his full debut, but it was Martial who stole the headlines again.

Twenty minutes after his introduction from the bench, the French teen latched on to Memphis Depay's knock–down and rolled the ball beyond Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski to complete the victory in injury time.

Martial (19) has scored four goals in 225 minutes of play for United, but Van Gaal wants to protect his prize asset and resisted the temptation to lavish praise on the £36million forward.

“He is very modest and knows he can score because of his fellow players,” the United manager said of the most expensive teenager in history.
