Anthony Martial's name has jumped big after his signing for Manchester United. The former Monaco player has become a Trending Topic after signing for some 60 million pounds, some 70-80 millions of euros. An operation that continues to raise controversy if we look at the fact that the player 19 years he practically has no background in professional football although the truth is his career has been meteoric.
Anthony Martial born in Massy, France, and 5 from December to 1995 and debuted as a professional very soon, just one day after turning 16 years, in 2012, with the Olympique Lyon shirt. that season, He practically did not play as he was a player who had just come up from the quarry and his young age.. However, Monaco already gambled for him in the summer of 2013 starring in a fairly high transfer for him, when paying 5 million euros for a player who had just made his professional debut and had just played 4 matches in the elite.
Given what we have seen, the bet turned out well and that 2013/14 It wasn't very hopeful for him either.. Juice 11 matches with Monaco, thus not justifying the high price that had been paid for a kid who barely had 17 years and that he was new to professional football. Last season, the 2014/15, played a total of 48 matches between 3 competitions and did not score an exaggerated number of goals, tan sólo 12. Just a few days ago we were able to see him in action against Valencia in the two Champions League qualifying matches..
However, against all odds, el Manchester United de Louis Van Gaal, He went after him with the checkbook in front of him, something that, as we said at the beginning, has raised certain misgivings due to the lack of experience of a player who, although he points out very good things, He is still far from being a proven player. A player who has entered the list of the most expensive signings in history through the big door, no, lo siguiente. Whether it was a success or a mistake, only time will tell, although it does seem that the amount paid for it in relation to what has been seen so far, it seems exaggerated
