AS Monaco Confirms That They Received A Better Offer For Anthony Martial

AS Monaco received an even bigger offer for Anthony Martial but he wanted Man United move

Manchester United fans are already head over heels for Anthony Martial, but they’re going to be inking his name to their foreheads when they hear what Vadim Vasilyev told Marca.
The AS Monaco vice-president revealed that the French club received an even bigger bid for the 19-year-old from another club. But it was one they couldn’t accept.
That’s because Martial had his mind made up. He wanted to complete a personal dream by moving to United and playing at Old Trafford on a biweekly basis.
Speaking to the Spanish media outlet, Vasilyev spilled beans all over the shop: “There was another club that offered even more than United. I will not say how much, but the fixed price, without variables, it was even better. And also they offered us to have him for a further year in Monaco.
“But the boy wanted to go to Manchester, it was his dream. And we let him go with the bonus of 30 million. Had it not been for so much money, he’d have stayed.”
United were the talk of the football world when they made Martial the most expensive teenager of all time by forking out at least £36 million for his signature.
Cue chat about how football has gone mad and what a horrendous plague the transfer market is on our beautiful game. That was before Martial showed up with a truckload of humble pie.
He scored on his debut against Liverpool and has continued to impress, netting four times in six games for the table-topping Red Devils. Quickly becoming a hero to fans, this story will bag the player insane brownie points.
