Manchester United's Anthony Martial happier, ready to break out

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes an improvement in Anthony Martial's training ground behaviour is behind the Frenchman's early season form, and backed his team for "better times" ahead.

The Norwegian says he has seen a more "mature" player and says it has contributed to a positive start to the campaign that has seen him score four goals in just five starts.

"Now he is maturing, he is nearly 24," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday.

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