Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Anthony Martial has the attributes to emulate former Red Devils star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal international made his name at Old Trafford before going on to be one of the best players in the world at Real Madrid and now plies his trade in Italy with Juventus.
Martial, who recently put pen to paper on a new deal at United, is starting to show some promising form in the club's bid to finish in the top four this season.
Solskjaer sees similarities between Martial and Ronaldo and feels hard work is the key for the Frenchman to get on the same level as the Juve superstar.
Solskjaer said: "He [Martial] does have similarities, of course. If he wants to be at Cristiano's level, Anthony knows what he has to do. It's up to him. He has the talent."
The Norwegian added: "I am glad he is in my team. He has contributed to so many chances, so many goals.
"He is a Manchester United player. He excites the crowd. He excites the manager. He excites his team-mates. And he is a great character around the place."
United are 1/1 to finish in the top four this season.
