Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has hailed Anthony Martial for his "fantastic" strike in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Stoke City.

The Frenchman doubled Man United's lead in the first period with a curling finish, before setting up Wayne Rooney for the home side's third in the second half.

Van Gaal has said that he 'always likes team goals', but has also paid tribute to the individual excellence of Martial.

"I always like team goals and the finish was fantastic," Van Gaal told MUTV.

Man United will continue their top-four challenge in the Premier League with a trip to Chelsea at the weekend.
