The former Lyon and Monaco striker says he prefers to operate as a number nine but is happy to play in different positions up top in order to help the Red Devils

Anthony Martial believes the Premier League is the best league in the world and says he hopes to stay in England for the foreseeable future.

The France international joined Manchester United from Monaco at the start of the 2015-16 campaign and has since developed into a key figure at Old Trafford, scoring 13 goals in all competitions so far.

Louis van Gaal's men are in danger of missing out on Champions League football next season, but Martial has stressed the competitiveness that comes with playing on these shores is one of the reasons why he loves plying his trade in England.

"The Premier League is more physically demanding than Ligue 1. I love English football, it's the best in the world in my opinion, and I hope to stay here for many years to come," the 20-year-old told Sky Sports.

"It's true that the atmosphere here is quite different from the one in France, people live and breathe football here, and that's what I like, every footballer wants to play in the Premier League.


"In France it's easy to know which team is going to win the game, where as in England anywhere you play, you know it's going to be difficult."

Martial has featured in a number of positions in attack this season, switching between leading the line or playing out on the left-hand side.

But although he says he prefers to play as a number nine, Martial remains happy to operate in other positions in order to help his team-mates.

"Foremost I am a striker," he added. "But it doesn't bother me at all which position I play. When I am on the pitch I just focus on helping the team, that's all.

"I just want to help the team, and when I score I am happier, I am a striker and that's how it goes."
