Jose Mourinho has credited Anthony Martial's return to the goals on French-speaking players in the dressing room.
Martial has come off the bench to score against West Ham and Swansea so far this season.
Martial's 83rd minute strike against the Swans, added a fourth for United to extend United's lead at the top of the Premier League, and to double his own tally for the season so far.
The Frenchman only scored eight times last season.
But the Portuguese manager has been impressed with Martial's start to this season and puts the improvement down to the the French speaking invasion in the Old Trafford dressing room.
Lukaku joined this summer to add to Pogba and Eric Bailly's linguistic domination and helped Martial re-find his shooting boots.
Mourinho told the BBC: "Anthony Martial is working hard. He is confident.
"The French language connection is there to help him a lot and get to the level we know he can be because the potential is huge."
