Anthony Martial Biography | Who is Anthony Martial? | Anthony Martial Profile

Anthony Jordan Martial is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the France national team. He was the recipient of the 2015 Golden Boy Award for the best under-21 player in Europe.

Playing youth football for Les Ulis, he began his professional career at Lyon, then transferred to AS Monaco in 2013 for a fee of €6 million.

He was a member of Monaco’s squad for two seasons and signed for Manchester United in 2015 for an initial fee of £36 million which could potentially rise to £57.6 million.

This was the highest fee paid for a teenager in football history even before the potential increase. He scored in his first match for United and was named the Premier League Player of the Month in his first month in English football.

A youth international for France from under-16 to under-21 level, Martial made his senior debut in 2015. He was named in their squad for UEFA Euro 2016.

It’s like a glorious episode of tacky drama Footballers’ Wives. The £36million French star — yesterday named the world’s most valuable footballer under 21 — split from childhood sweetheart Samantha after The Sun on Sunday, revealed he had bedded X Factor wannabe Emily Wademan in January.

Now the mother of his one-year-old daughter has reached out to Emily in an effort to befriend her . . . and you can guess their main conversation.

A source said: “Samantha and Emily have formed an unlikely friendship, sharing information about Anthony on Snapchat and WhatsApp. “Samantha has even been praising Emily’s looks and treating her like a genuine friend.

“It’s surprising, as Samantha had previously lashed out at Emily for going public about Anthony.

“But now she seems to be finding comfort in their common ground, which unsurprisingly is that both of them think he is an awful human being. “Either that or she is gathering ammunition from Emily so she can get every last penny out of Anthony for their daughter.”

Anthony Martial Club career

Early career and Lyon
Born in Massy, Essonne, Martial spent his youth years with Paris-based CO Les Ulis from 2001, the same team that produced French internationals Thierry Henry and Patrice Evra.

Evra closely monitored the progress of Martial and allowed him to play in one of his pairs of football boots at the age of 12. At the same age, Martial trialed at Manchester City.

At just 14 years old in 2009 he was spotted by scouts from the Olympique Lyonnais academy and joined it the same year. During his second season in the Under-17 team, he distinguished himself by scoring 32 goals in 21 games, which resulted in a call-up to the France national under-17 football team for the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovenia.

He made his professional debut for Lyon on 6 December 2012, in a Europa League group stage match against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, replacing goalscorer Yassine Benzia for the final 10 minutes of a 2–0 victory at the Stade de Gerland.

His first Ligue 1 game was on 3 February 2013 against Ajaccio, when he came on as a substitute in the 79th minute for Rachid Ghezzal in a 3–1 away loss. He made two further appearances from the bench that season.

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 10-man Bastia on 13 March 2015 in a 3–0 home victory. 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.

Anthony Martial Manchester United

Transfer
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 another year.

This was the highest transfer fee paid for a teenager, breaking the previous record of £27 million United paid for Luke Shaw a year earlier, and that Paris Saint-Germain had paid for Marquinhos in 2013.

United paid £36 million upfront for Martial, but his contract contains three bonus clauses worth £7.2 million each, taking the potential fee to £57.6 million.

The clauses each relate to certain accomplishments being achieved in the next four years, including if Martial scores 25 goals during that span, racks up 25 caps for France or wins the Ballon d’Or before June 2019.

Manager Louis van Gaal called Martial an acquisition for United’s future rather than for immediate use, and called the transfer fee “ridiculous”, alleging that Manchester United regularly had to pay £10 million more than other teams.

Upon signing, Martial said, “I’m so excited to join United, I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and to join the biggest club in the world is what every young footballer dreams of.” Van Gaal stated, “Anthony is a naturally talented, young, multi-functional forward with great potential.

I believe this is the club for him to continue his development.” The fee was reportedly met with astonishment by the French public.

2016–17 season

Martial retained his starting berth at Manchester United under new manager José Mourinho, starting ahead of in-form teammate Marcus Rashford on the left-wing for the opening few games of the season.

The forward, however, lost his place in the starting line-up after several underwhelming performances, with the club tentatively attributing Martial’s difficulties to ongoing problems in his personal life.

Nevertheless, on 2 October 2016, Martial came off the bench at Old Trafford to score United’s only goal—his first of the new season—against Stoke City, a game that ended in a 1–1 draw.

On 30 November 2016, Martial was recalled to the side to face West Ham in the EFL Cup after receiving warnings about his starting spot in previous weeks from manager José Mourinho, he responded by scoring two goals in a 4–1 win to send United into the semi-final of the competition.

Being in and out of the team for a couple of months, Martial was rumored to leave Manchester United in the summer, but on 6 February he made it clear on his official Twitter account, tweeting: “the papers are wrong don’t listen to them”.

Martial returned to the starting line-up against Watford at Old Trafford on 11 February by providing an assist to Juan Mata and later scoring a goal for himself in the 60th minute, he was later declared the man of the match.

On 26 February, he was named in the starting XI that faced Southampton at Wembley Stadium for the 2017 EFL Cup Final, which United won 3–2.

The victory earned Martial his third piece of silverware for United. In May, he won the first European trophy of his career, coming on as a substitute in the 2017 UEFA Europa League Final.

2017–18 season

After a successful spell for Manchester United towards the end of last season, winning the League Cup and Europa League, Martial started the season as a substitute for most matches.

Despite this Martial managed to score from the bench in United’s first two league matches against West Ham United and Swansea City, and again later against Everton; with all three matches ending in a 4–0 win for United. Martial’s first start of the season came on 20 September in a 4–1 win over Burton upon Trent in the League Cup in which he also scored.

Martial repeated this a week later in the Champions League, scoring in a 4–1 win over CSKA Moscow. In October Martial scored United’s only goal in their win over Tottenham and again in November against Watford and Newcastle United.

In January, Martial scored again against Everton away, scored against Stoke City and provide the winning goal against Burnley. However following the January transfer season, Martial began to fall out of favor following the signing of Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez on 22 January.

A lack of game time saw Martial fail to produce another goal for the club all season. Because of this, there was heavy speculation that Martial would leave Manchester United during the summer transfer season.

2018–19 season

Martial made his first competitive appearance for Manchester United’s 18/19 season in their 3–2 loss to Brighton in the Premier League. Through August and September, Martial made three other substitute appearances in the Premier League until September’s final game against West Ham United saw him make the starting eleven.

However two weeks prior saw Martial start in Manchester United’s Champions League opener and score his first goal of the season in a 3–0 win against Young Boys of Bern. Martial’s first league goal came in a 3–2 comeback against Newcastle United where he also started.

After that match Martial started and scored in every Premier League game up to the November International Break, scoring against Bournemouth, Everton, two goals against Chelsea, and a penalty goal in the Manchester derby.

This spell of goal scoring saw Martial become one of seven players to have scored in five consecutive league games for Manchester United. Martial also won Manchester United’s October Player of the Month award.

On 24 November, Martial started in United’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace, playing the full 90 minutes. This came after speculation that he would miss the game due to an injury picked up on international duty. Martial also played the full 90 minutes against Champions League opponents Young Boys, which United won 1–0, securing their place in the knockout stage.

After missing United’s tie with Southampton, Martial played in the club’s home game against Arsenal in which he scored his eighth goal of the season with the match ending in a 2–2 draw. On 17 December 2018, United triggered an option to extend Martial’s contract that would keep him at the club until 2020.

On 22 December, under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Martial scored his ninth of the season in a 5–1 victory over Cardiff City. On 25 January 2019, Martial scored Manchester United’s third goal in a 3–1 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup Fourth Round; it was his first goal of 2019 and his 10th of the season.

On 31 January 2019, Martial signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United. On 9 February, Martial assisted Paul Pogba’s opener before scoring United’s second goal in a 3–0 win over Fulham.

On 10 March, Martial returned as a substitute against Arsenal after sustaining an injury against PSG a month prior. Later that month he scored the second goal in a 2–1 win over Watford.

2019–20 season

Martial began the 2019–20 Premier League season by starting and scoring Manchester United’s second goal in a 4–0 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford. He also scored in United’s second match, a 1–1 draw away against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 19 August 2019.
