In 2015, the French striker became the world's most expensive teenager when he joined United from Monaco.

However, the recent signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho pushed Martial further down the pecking order. Not only that, but teenager Mason Greenwood is also above the 26-year-old. 

Anthony Martial has scored 79 goals in 269 appearances for Manchester United but has only appeared in just 4 games this season.

With this move, Martial is hopeful to re-igniting his career as he is just 26 years old and is also eyeing a comeback in the French National Team.
