Former England national football team player Ray Parlour is not convinced whether Manchester United made a mistake by acquiring the 19-year-old French talent for an impressive sum. During the last days of the transfer window, the "Red Devils" unexpectedly acquired French forward Anthony Martial from Monaco for 58 million pounds sterling. This transfer sparked a lot of discussions in the football world and R. Parlour believes that this purchase will not be justified. "Will Martial succeed? I am still waiting to see him play, but I lean towards the idea that he will not justify the purchase. The amount for which this player arrived in Manchester is incomprehensible," said former Arsenal midfielder. "He is only 19 years old, he has not proven anything yet. If he lives up to the comparison with Thierry Henry, everything is understandable, he will be a great purchase, but I think that Man Utd took a big risk in this situation," added the former English footballer.
