Former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov urges Anthony Martial 'to bully defenders and get dirty' like Edinson Cavani to improve his game and regain top form

Anthony Martial needs to use Manchester United team-mate Edinson Cavani as a role model to become a better player, according to Dimitar Berbatov.

After scoring 23 goals in 48 matches last season - his best ever tally at the club - the French striker has been off the boil this campaign, only scoring twice in all competitions.

Martial, now 24, missed a sitter in a 3-1 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday which leaves their Champions League progression uncertain.

And former Red Devils striker Berbatov believes the out-of-form Martial should take a leaf out of Cavani's book to improve his overall game.
