A statement from the FFF read: "Anthony Martial was presented Monday at 11:00 at the gathering of the France team at Clairefontaine. He requested from Didier Deschamps permission to travel to England to sign a contract with Manchester United.
"Given the exceptional circumstances, the coach has acceded to the request of the player.
"Anthony Martial left Clairefontaine Monday at 12:00. He will return on Tuesday morning."
Sorry for copy paste but its a direct quote.

I don't like to use this symbol ">", but Martial > Chicharito. Will do very well in Manchester, had the chance to watch him last season. Stil inconsistent, but very young and very talented. This is the way United do business, sign young talant that people will talk about. And it really surprised me that he's called by the French coach. More transfers please ;)

I am very happy that we are signing some one so young with so much potential but I am bothered with the price quoted. But the market nowadays is crazy. This guy can become the next O'henry or may flop with the price dropping so low in a couple of seasons.

As I said before, we, as fans, don't have to care about the transfer fees, ins and outs.

Ziko mate I agree but ins and outs are directly related to the price tag I am afraid.

I didn't understand you. I'm saying that I don't care if we sign someone for 1 or 1m. All I care is what he is doing on the pitch :)

Ronnie is going to be delighted that we are signing a 19 year old.

potentially a great prospect but does this signing do anything to our current situation? unless this lad hits the ground running and gets plenty of game time then were no nearer to addressing the lack of goals.time will tell

GDS,
Your a funny one, all we need know is Aymeric Laporte to sign and a top draw keeper!
If we are gunna splash, get Griezmann in too! Or maybe Reus?
