Manchester United to seal £36m Martial deal



Manchester United are set to complete the £36m deal to sign Monaco forward Anthony Martial.

Martial, 19, has been linked with Arsenal and Barcelona, was allowed to leave the France squad on Monday to travel for a medical ahead of his move to Manchester United. The French forward scored nine goals in 31 Ligue 1 appearances last season.

If the deal goes through, Martial will become United's third most expensive signing, after £59.7m Angel Di Maria and £37.1m Juan Mata. France Under-21 international Martial was called up to the senior national team for the first time on 28 August.
