France captain Hugo Lloris has talked up the potential of Manchester United's new boy Anthony Martial, saying that the "shy" teenager can become a "great player".

The 19-year-old, who only won his first cap for France on Friday night, joined United in a massive £58m deal on deadline day last week.

"He is a bit shy, but is well involved in the group. He's going to make his mark, but it's never easy,” the Spurs' goalkeeper Lloris told reporters.

"We talked a lot about him lately. He has to digest all of that, but he has huge potential.

"I'm sure that tomorrow, or in the future he will serve the national team and continue to grow.

"In any case, he really has huge potential to become a great player. But he must take one step after another."
