Anthony Martial has somehow lived up to the hype so far after a £36m move to Manchester.
The former Monaco man has looked wise beyond his years, scoring crucial goals and endearing himself to the Old Trafford faithful.
It seems his performances have commanded the attention of his fellow Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, who has been suitably impressed so far.
Speaking to Shortlist, the World Cup winner said: "With transfer fees, what looks big now can look like nothing a few years down the line.
"People went crazy when Juventus spent all that money for Gianluigi Buffon - how could a goalkeeper be worth that much? Who can now look and say Buffon was anything other than one of the greatest buys ever?"
The Real Madrid Castilla coach then likened Martial to a former Manchester United legend: "It is the same with Ronaldo. After all the goals and all the trophies, who mentions the fee now?"
Still, Zidane feels that it is too early to start making comparisons with Thierry Henry, saying: "Come on. Thierry is one of the greats. It's not fair to put that pressure on the kid. It is obvious he is full of ability and confidence so it looks good for the future."
