Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted with the attitude of Anthony Martial.

Martial has returned from a two-month injury lay-off with two goals in his last three games, with Solskjaer crediting it with a change in outlook.

He looks happier," said Solskjaer of Martial, who gained a reputation as a moody player under previous bosses Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal. He seems happy.

He's an infectious boy, his smile and sense of humour, you can see he's happy here and that rubs off on everyone and it's great to see.

I don't think he has had a long run of games as a No.9 since he played many years ago as a boy, and now he's maturing, he's 24.

You have to be obsessed with scoring goals as a No.9 and he's looking more and more like a player who wants to score goals and not just show his tricks.

For me, he's matured a lot in his behaviour on the training ground as well.

I believe we'll see the best of him in the next few years."
