The 19 year old striker has just completed a deadline day move to the Old Trafford in a deal worth £36 million (€50m) from French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco.
Anthony Martial who is tipped to be the next Thierry Henry said he was excited to finally play in the Premier League. "I'm so excited to join United," says Martial. "I've always wanted to play in the Premier League and look forward to meeting my team-mates."
Manchester United were seriously in need in a striker after Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez moved to Fenerbache and Bayer Leverkusen respectively and Wayne Rooney, who is currently enduring his worst run of form in the Premier League since moving to Old Trafford in 2004, having not scored in 10 games, as he adapts back from last season's deeper role.
With this transfer, Anthony Martial has become the most expensive teenager in the history of football.
