Manchester United are set to complete the £36m signing
of Monaco forward Anthony Martial.
The 19-year-old, who has been linked with Arsenal, was
allowed to leave the France squad on Monday to travel
for a medical with Louis van Gaal's side.
Martial scored eight goals in 31 Ligue 1 appearances last
season.
Should he sign, Martial will become Manchester United's
third most expensive signing, after £59.7m Angel Di
Maria and £37.1m Juan Mata.
Spain midfielder Mata joined from Premier League rivals
Chelsea in January 2014, while Argentina winger Di
Maria moved from La Liga giants Real Madrid for a
British record fee in August last year.
After Manchester United lost 2-1 to Swansea on Sunday,
Van Gaal said he would not panic buy before the transfer
window closes in England at 18:00 BST on Tuesday.
France Under-21 international Martial was called up to
the senior national team for the first time on 28 August.
The teenager scored 32 goals in just 21 games at
youth level for Lyon before breaking into the first team
in the 2012-13 season.
