France international and Manchester United striker Anthony Martial says he was inspired by two legendary Brazilians Ronaldo de lima and Ronaldinho. "My brother was the one who really gave me the desire to follow in his footsteps," he told MUTV.
"Also, it was really Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, the two Brazilian players, who also inspired me to a future in football.
"There was a particularly important coach for me. Willy Sagnol, the current Bordeaux manager, who was running the French U21 team at the time.
"I was at Monaco and wasn't playing in the first team then but turning out for the reserves and he picked me for the French U21s.
"It was that which allowed me to keep playing at a decent level of form and to tell myself that I could still make it as a player in the professional game."
