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

Martial has returned to form of late after a difficult start to the season, scoring and assisting as a substitute in United's 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Everton.

"Anthony has made some important contributions lately, assists, scored goals," said Solskjaer.

"He's getting fitter. I think he showed against Leeds - and he knows that I'm onto him about this - his running stats from that game put a new standard from him, which I want to see more from.

"And he's always going to have the quality, Anthony. Maybe his confidence has been bruised a little bit by what happened earlier in the season and the red card. He's had some criticism. But Anthony is going to be better and better."

Solskjaer added: "When we get Mason, Anthony and Marcus firing on all cylinders as well, we'll be an even bigger threat for teams.

"We're getting better and better. These boys know what I want from my team."
