France forward Kylian Mbappe has claimed that playing alongside Anthony Martial makes his job easier.

The pair linked up together for Les Bleus on Tuesday night as the team earned a 3-1 victory over Russia in an international friendly in St Petersburg.

Martial, who has been in and out of Manchester United's team this season, played 58 minutes of the match after recovering from a minor injury.

"I'm happy, the most important thing was to win," the Manchester Evening News quotes Mbappe as saying. "It's always good to beat records, but I don't go looking for that.

"I played with players it's easy to link up with; it's simple to play with Ousmane [Dembele] and Anthony [Martial]. We have to work on our understanding, but I think it was a good start."

Martial has scored 11 goals and created seven assists in 40 appearances in all competitions for United this season.
