Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Anthony Martial can recapture his best form.

Martial, 25, has scored just five goals - two in the Premier League - and could be dropped at the expense of Edinson Cavani in United's trip to Arsenal today.

"Keep working," Solskjaer said. "He's improved his fitness, he's probably improved by 10-15 per cent from when I came - his running distance, his sprint distance.

"His talent will always take him through. I've got no doubt about that whatsoever. Yes, he's missed a couple of chances but that happens to everyone.

"It's just being ready when the chance, for example, tomorrow comes. Just be mentally ready. Don't be frustrated, I've been there myself going through patches when you don't really score goals. He keeps practicing in training so we know how good he is and we know he will come good."
