Manchester United striker Anthony Martial praises Erik ten Hag's summer signings

Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial has hailed the impact of the club's summer signings

The Reds signed Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Martin Dubravka and Antony in the summer as Erik ten Hag added depth to his squad after arriving at Old Trafford from Ajax. While Dubvraka is yet to feature for the club, the other recruits have all impressed since joining United.

Although Ten Hag was keen to add additional attacking reinforcements to his ranks, the club's existing stars - like Marcus Rashford - have all looked much-improved under the management of the Dutchman.

Anthony Martial, who has registered three goals and two assists in five appearances this term, has suggested that United recruited well in the summer transfer window, adding that the added competition for places is a good thing for the team.

"We brought in some very good players this summer. They've adapted very well and we're very happy to have them," the Frenchman told club media. "When there's competition, you have to continue to put in great performances to keep your place, it's a good thing for the team."

Eriksen, Martinez, Casemiro and Antony have all asserted themselves as first-choice options for Ten Hag since arriving at Old Trafford, while Malacia has fallen down the pecking order after making a promising start to the season.

The Reds will be keen to finish with two victories before the season pauses for the World Cup in Qatar, with United coming up against Aston Villa in the EFL Cup on Thursday night, and then against Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend.
