Lloris: 'Martial has bright future for France'

France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has suggested that Anthony Martial can have a great future at international level.

The Manchester United striker made his debut for Les Bleus in the friendly win over Portugal last week.

Martial recently joined United from AS Monaco for £36m, and Lloris is confident that the 19-year-old will live up to his price tag.

"He is a bit shy, but is well involved in the group. He's going to make his mark, but it's never easy," Goal.com quotes the Tottenham Hotspur man as saying.

"We talked a lot about him lately. He has to digest all of that, but he has huge potential. I'm sure that tomorrow, or in the future he will serve the national team and continue to grow.

"In any case, he really has huge potential to become a great player. But he must take one step after another."

France face Serbia next up on Monday evening.
