United unveil new signing

CN1JXsvWoAAZFbcManchester United have completed the signing of Anthony Martial from Monaco for a fee of approximately £36m.

The 19-year-old made 70 appearances and scored 15 goals for Monaco since joining the Ligue 1 side in 2013 and has represented his country from Under-16 level to Under-21, before being called up to France’s senior national squad for the first time late last week.

“I am so excited to be joining Manchester United. I have enjoyed my time at AS Monaco and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything they have done for me,” he said.

“I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and to join the biggest club in the world is what every young footballer dreams of. I am looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and working with Louis van Gaal who has achieved so much in his career.”

Louis van Gaal said: “Anthony is a naturally talented, young, multi-functional forward with great potential. We have been watching him for a while now and he has developed immensely during his time at AS Monaco.

“I am delighted he has joined Manchester United as I believe this is the right club for him to continue his development as a young player. He has all the attributes to become a top football player; however we need to give him time to adjust to his new environment and the rhythm of the Premier League.”
