After a couple of years of tedious football, Manchester United once more have some fairy dust in the squad.
Memphis is exactly the sort of profile of player that United fans love and is young enough to improve hugely.
But possibly the biggest draw right now is Anthony Martial.
He hasn’t scored for a couple of matches but his all round game is bewitching. It’s already almost impossible to imagine Manchester United’s front line without him.
And in an era when money talks louder than ever, it’s comforting to hear that Martial chose Manchester United over another suitor, who was prepared opt pay more for the lad. The MEN reports:
Anthony Martial’s dream to sign for United forced his former club Monaco to reject a bigger bid for the French teenager in the summer.
A mystery top European outfit had outbid executive vice chairman Ed Woodward’s offer of £36m for the 19-year-old.
You have to assume that the other suitor was an elite team.
Not just because of the talent of the lad but also the fact that his fee was so huge that only a top tier institution could afford to take such a gamble.
Martial has scored 4 goals in 6 appearances for Manchester United this term and is also surprising many with his link up play.
For our money, he will be one of the top 5 players in the world within 4 years.
And Manchester United will be the grateful recipients of his gifts.
Let’s see some of his best moments for Manchester United
