Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has
played down comparisons with Thierry Henry.
The 19-year-old France international has
famously been likened to France and Arsenal
legend Henry and has made a big impact at Old
Trafford with four goals since his summer move
from Monaco.
But Martial told French TV channel BFM: "I know
this is a very great player who is a legend in
England. But I do not think we have the same
characteristics. Thierry Henry is Thierry Henry.
"I still have everything to prove. By continuing to
work, I will try to reach his level but I am still
very far off."
Martial also insists he is not concerned by his
transfer fee, with United bringing him in on an
initial £36m deal which could rise significantly
higher.
Martial celebrates after finding the net for United
"It did not bother me too much," he added. "It
was more my family with all that was written in
the newspapers and what was said. I was just in
a hurry to go to Manchester and play football.
"I try to ignore it all. I stay in my bubble, I
concentrate on the football, I work and I try to
learn English as quickly as possible."
