Information that A. Martial is the main candidate to strengthen United's attack only emerged yesterday. Until then, the Frenchman was actively being pursued by London's “Tottenham”. The French Football Federation announced on Monday afternoon that they had given permission for the footballer to temporarily leave the national team camp. Martial took his first steps in his career at the “Lyon” club, and in 2013 he moved to “Monaco” for €6 million. Within the ranks of the latter club, the striker played 49 matches, scoring 11 times. Martial has also represented the French U16, U17, U18, U19, and U21 national teams.
