Anthony Martial continues to catch the eye in France performance (Video)

Considering that virtually nobody had heard of the lad about nine weeks ago, Anthony Martial’s reputation continues to grow.

A goal-scoring debut against Liverpool has been followed by three more goals for Manchester United and another call up for the French senior side.

Being the host nation, France don’t need to qualify for Euro 2016 next summer and have been playing a series of friendlies as a result.

The latest, a 4-0 victory over Armenia, was another opportunity for the 19-year-old to catch the eye.

He didn’t score, but his flick for Karim Benzema allowed the Real Madrid man to get his second of the night.

And he wasn’t done there. Picking the ball up in his own half, this pacey run demonstrated the youngster’s terrifying speed. But for a better pass at the end of it, it could have yielded another goal for the French.
