SPECIAL REPORT
It has been a life-changing last 14 months for Anthony Martial. On his journey from young talent with Monaco to mega-money Manchester United superstar, the 20-year-old has experienced a number of highlights as well as difficulties the like of which few will ever witness.
This time last year he was United’s great hope, having come off a streak of four goals in his first four games following a transfer from Ligue 1 which may eventually cost the club over 58 million pounds ($71M).
