Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has played down expectations over Anthony Martial potentially breaking a club record in tomorrow's match against Sunderland.
The 19-year-old, who signed for the Red Devils from Monaco for £36m on the final day of the transfer window, could become the first United player to score in their first four Premier League matches.
"I don't think [he is distracted] because he doesn't read the papers," Van Gaal told reporters. "Maybe he hears it from his fellow players, but I don't think his fellow players will say that he can break the record.
"His personality is that he's an open guy. He's listening, he's focusing on the matches. He's a coachable player, that's why I like him and I bought him."
Martial scored twice in last weekend's 3-2 victory over Southampton at St Mary's.
