Manchester United close in on Anthony Martial signing

01 September 2015 01:32

Anthony Martial looks set to be the only major signing Manchester United make on deadline day.

United have been linked with a number of stars in the last few weeks, but Press Association Sport understands Martial is likely to be the only player who signs for the club before Tuesday's 6pm deadline.

United agreed a fee of £36million for the 19-year-old Monaco striker on Monday.

Martial was allowed to leave France's training camp to travel to Carrington for a medical on Monday. Provided Martial passes those medical tests, he will become the most expensive teenager in football history.

The current most expensive teenager in world football is Luke Shaw, who signed for United for a fee that could rise to just over £30million last summer.
