Bastian Schweinsteiger believes Anthony Martial can become one of Manchester United s best players with confidence and the right guidance.
Despite sustaining a hamstring injury during pre-season, Martial has registered four goals and two assists in seven appearances this term.
The forward will hope to feature when United to return to action against Burnley in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Schweinsteiger played alongside Martial at Old Trafford for just under two seasons, the latter marking his debut with a stunning individual goal in a 3-1 victory over Liverpool in September 2015.
The former Germany international is confident the 27-year-old can shine under Erik ten Hag.

His potential is immense, Schweinsteiger told MUTV. I remember very well when he arrived at United, and he scored the goal against Liverpool in a special way.
With him, you need to give him confidence. But you also need to push him sometimes, and then he can be one of the best players.
But he has to understand that first, and that’s the job of the coaches and also the team-mates.
If you play with someone like him, you want to see the quality of this player all the time. You expect it because you know what this player is able to do.
When I played with him, my goal was always to put him in the right position with the ball. So, to give him the ball in the right moments where he can show his abilities the most.
Like one against one, one against two, with the ball, facing the opponents goal.
They are the moments he [is] waiting for, and then he s actually producing. At the end of the day, what matters for him is goals and assists.
