Very talented kid.

They next Henry?

Well, Henry didn't look like Henry, until he was Henry.

The most exciting prospect since Messi, settle down.

But he is talented.

He looks like he thrives with the ball at his feet in the box. Has good trickery and deft touches, will be a big player in the seasons to come.

Possible, but with Van Gaal Di Maria and Falcao lost their mojo. Will young Martial be ok??

It seems Wenger actually wanted him, but price/Benzema was the reasons we did not get him.

Why would a real Madrid player who showed no interest in joining us stop us buying a player?

VG will be gone in a couple of years max. His contract expires summer 2017 and Utd won't renew it unless he magically wins the league or CL somehow.

How do we know he showed no interest? Just because he said he never considered move does not mean he was interested or got in contact with Arsene. Neymar said similar thing, but after a while he also said there was actually some contact with United in summer. Wenger is a big fan of Benzema, impossible for him not to approach Benzema after Real got new manager who prefers Bale/Ronaldo in centre positions.

Yeah but if he never considered the move why would that have stopped us from getting someone else?

That 36m is looking cheap as chips now! Martial, Pogba and Bailly will be the spine of Utd's team for years to come just ast Terry, Lampard snd Drogba were for Jose's Chelsea team.

Rashford as well.

It's funny how many people were claiming United overspent on Martial - all the more laughable now when you see players like Bolasie going for 30m.

Its 60m once add ons are factored in. Say what you want, but that is ridiculously expensive for a 19 year old and only serves to then create players like bolasie for 30m.

Those add ons are all based on future stipulations - like being nominated for the Ballon d'Or and making x amount of appearances for France.

Regardless, all that matters is United have a WC striker on their hands who could be at the club for more than a decade. It's bargain all things considered, especially for a financial behemoth like United and in this current market when there is a dearth of top strikers available. He will no doubt be among the best in the world in a few years.

Also, I'd say deals like Bolasie are as much a by-product of the huge PL sponsorship/TV deals as inflated transfer prices. In any case, this is the landscape of football in 2016; exorbitant prices are here to stay - and they will only get higher.

It was a fair price at the time, think all of you need to realize that. I know its a bit difficult given how the market changes things are just crazy.
I think a prime Ronaldo might be worth three or four hundred million now, the old "could be the first billion pound player" doesnt seem that far stretched anymore does it.

Easily worth the money, Someone mentioned the Januzaj hype dying down, wouldnt be surprised if he just all of a sudden made it tbh still only 21.

The two highest scoring french league teenagers Tony Martial and some guy called Terry Henry never heard of him.
People failed to realize that and the form Martial was in at the time, the likes of Barca and Chelsea were after him but he loves Man Utd.
Monaco also claim to have rejected bigger bids for him than ours.

Wenger: "I didn't think Monaco would sell him."

Smallest big club in the world, nailed it Callum
