Lingard hails \'brilliant\' Man Utd pal Martial

Published on: 01 February 2016

Jesse Lingard says Manchester United teammate Anthony Martial is in flying form.

Martial was outstanding in the FA Cuo win at Derby and the Frenchman could prove to be a thorn in Stoke City's side in Tuesday's Barclays Premier League clash.

Lingard told manutd.com : "Anthony was brilliant. I know the Derby right-back [Cyrus Christie] well from my time here and he said afterwards that Anthony got past him a few times, and he got an assist as well. But that's the talent he's got.

"The games are coming thick and fast now, so we have to prepare right mentally; we have to get our recovery levels as good as they can be. In terms of our mentality, we don't look too far ahead or behind. We take each game as it comes and we know we'll have to be at our best to beat Stoke."
