Wayne Rooney Had to Ask Manchester United Team-Mate Who Anthony Martial Is

It sounds like Wayne Rooney was as surprised as anyone with the news that Anthony Martial could join Manchester United.

The club captain had to ask team-mate Morgan Schneiderlin about the player following press speculation about a move to Old Trafford.

As per Goal, Schneiderlin told French reporters:

"

To be honest, yesterday [Sunday] on the plane, Wayne Rooney came to speak to me and asked me who Martial was, because the English press had started to speak.

I told him he's a great player with great potential, who has played some good matches with Monaco last season and the the beginning of this.

I told him he is technical and powerful. A little like Therry Henry, even if it's the press who are making that comparison.

"

Martial will become the most expensive teenager in history if he joins the Red Devils on Tuesday, according to Goal, so it's no surprise Rooney wanted to know more about the 19-year-old.

He might be asking more questions if the France U21 international goes on to take his place in the starting lineup.
