Anthony Martial Transfer to Manchester United Funds Amateur Club for 4-5 Years

CO Les Ulis, the amateur club that initially developed Manchester United striker Anthony Martial as a youngster, are set to receive a fortune-changing slice of his big-money move to the Red Devils.

According to the Associated Press' Samuel Petrequin, clubs are entitled by FIFA to receive compensation for any player they helped develop between the ages of 12 and 23 when he changes clubs.

The Frenchman joined the club at just six years old and was snapped up by Lyon at 14, so according to Petrequin, Les Ulis are set to receive £270,000 of Martial's £36 million transfer fee for the final three years of training and education they provided him.
