The young France international forward provided two more assists for his Manchester United team-mates against Derby County and is willing to sacrifice personal glory for the club

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial refuses to make an obsession out of goalscoring.

The 20-year-old has been a rare bright light for the Red Devils in what has been a trying 2015-16 campaign so far, scoring eight goals in 28 appearances in all competitions.

He has also been prolific in assisting team-mates, most recently in the 3-1 FA Cup win over Derby County, and is keen to keep improving.

"I have always been considered as an altruistic person - this is something that has been said to me quite a lot," Martial toldΒ  MUTV , "so both giving a decisive pass or scoring a goal means as much to me. In the end, the most important thing is to win as a team.


"I think it's important to keep working hard to constantly improve and help the team to win titles and get back on top of the league table.


"Yes, I have a number in mind [as a goals target] but I'd rather keep it to myself."

Martial set up Wayne Rooney and Juan MataΒ in Friday's win over Derby and the Frenchman is keen to learn from England's all-time top goalscorer.

"[I improve] by training every day with talented players," he added, "especially with Rooney, I learn a lot from him.

"I always try to get inspired from him so that I can also become a great player."
