Monaco Striker Anthony Martial set to join Manchester united

Manchester United are set to complete the £36m signing of Monaco forward Anthony Martial.

The 19-year-old was given permission to leave the France international senior squad by Didier Deschamps to fly to Manchester for a medical this morning.

Arsenal were also chasing a player who has become United’s third most expensive signing after Angel Di Maria (£59.7m) and Juan Mata (£37.1m). Martial scored eight goals in 31 Ligue 1 appearances last season.

After Manchester United lost 2-1 to Swansea on Sunday, Van Gaal said he would not panic signing before the transfer window closes in England at 18:00 BST on Tuesday.

France Under-21 international Martial was called up to the senior national team for the first time on 28 August.
