United Sign Martial

Louis Van Gaal has completed the signing of Athony Martial for Manchester United for £36m.

The former Monaco forward is now footballs most expensive ever teenager, and the fee could yet rise to over £50m.

The sticker scored just eight goals in 31 league games last season and has only ever scored 18.  The Frenchman also plays for the French U21 squad.

His style has been linked to that of fellow Frenchman Thierry Henry as Martial can also play on the wings as well as playing as a striker, his most prominent position.

It is still a shock however that the Manchester United boss payed the huge fee for the teenager and a few are beginning to ask, are Manchester Unite panic buying?
