Manchester United
On 1 September 2015, Martial completed a move to Manchester United for £36 million, potentially rising to £58 million, on a four-year contract with the option of a fifth. This was the highest transfer fee paid for a teenager, breaking the record of £27 million which United paid for Luke Shaw a year earlier, and that PSG had paid for Marquinhos in 2013. The fee was reportedly met with astonishment by the French and British public. New Manchester United teammate to Martial, Wayne Rooney, declared that he himself had not heard of Martial before the signing- adding to the shock around the country.
AS Monaco:
On 30 June 2013, AS Monaco announced they had signed Martial to a three-year contract for a fee of €5 million plus bonuses. On 24 November, he made his first league appearance for the club at the age of 17, replacing Radamel Falcao after 63 minutes and playing a part in Mounir Obbadi's goal which gave victory away to FC Nantes. He scored his first goal for the principality club on his first start, a 2–0 win over Rennes at the Stade Louis II six days later. His campaign was disrupted by a sprained ankle against Valenciennes in December. On 27 January 2014, he extended his contract until June 2018. In his second season at Monaco, Martial scored nine goals in 36 Ligue 1 games, starting on 5 October 2014 when as a substitute for Lucas Ocampos, he gained a 1–1 draw at reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain with a last-minute strike from close range. He scored twice against a ten-man Bastia on 13 March 2015 in a 3–0 home victory.[10] On 26 June, he further extended his link with the team until 2019. On 4 August 2015, Martial scored his first goal in European competition, in a 4–0 home win over BSC Young Boys in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League; Monaco advanced 7–1 on aggregate.
