Anthony Martial Officially Completes Manchester United Transfer from Monaco

Manchester Unitedย confirmed the deadline-day signing of AS Monaco forward Anthony Martial on Tuesday.

Martial will reportedly set United back โ‚ฌ60 million (ยฃ44.1 million) plus โ‚ฌ20 million (ยฃ14.7 million) in bonuses, according to RMC (h/tย Get French Football).ย Sky Sportsย reported the Red Devils will initially pay at least ยฃ36 million for his services.

Martial was granted leave from the French football squad by theย French Football Federation (h/tย GFF) on Monday to complete the switch.ย 

It's clear United need a striker. The Red Devils have managed just three goals in four Premier League matches andย struggled during a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Sunday.

Afterward, Gary Neville, aย Sky Sportsย Super Sundayย analyst and ex-United defender,ย implored his former club to recruit a new forward:ย "They've got one striker. I'm not classing [Marouane] Fellaini as a striker. They've got one striker in Wayne Rooney."

It seems manager Louis van Gaal already had his plans in place.
