Nabil Fekir: 'Anthony Martial is a very good player'

Lyon attacker Nabil Fekir has branded his fellow Frenchman and new Manchester United forward Anthony Martial "a very good player".

Martial made the switch from Monaco to Old Trafford on Tuesday, signing a four-year contract with the Premier League side.

Fekir has played at youth level with Martial for France and watched the teenager at close quarters in Ligue 1, and the 22-year-old has praised Man United's new signing.

"Anthony is a very good player, I played with him at Lyon. Of course, it's a lot of money. We know that clubs are capable of spending these amounts on good players," Fekir told Europe 1.

Martial and Fekir could both feature in France's international friendly against Portugal on Friday.
