He looks a good player to me based off the few Youtube highlights around. Natural finisher. Haven't seen enough to make any sort of judgement as I'm not into French football.

Price is irrelevant really because it's not our money to start with and secondly at that age you pay for the next 10 years.

They do need a quality striker quite desperately.

Hahahahaha Natural finisher.. The clips iv'e seen it shows him celebrating the Bale love heart way more than him scoring goals and the one's he scores come of the post..
Nacho has more than this guy..

I agree with what you are saying but the last thing they need at this moment in time is potential.

Also, for all this talk of "philosophy" which Van Gaal has constantly been talking about for the last 18 months, he is a strange signing. He isn't a strong enough to play on his own up front, isn't a winger or a number 10. He'd be a good support striker or impact player until he beefs up a bit. Again how does that fit their needs?

He'd probably excel playing just off Fellani up front but that would mean them going to 4-4-2, not playing Rooney and Mata and getting run ragged in CM.

They'd have been much better off getting Pedro and Otamendi whilst they could have and actually signing Charlie Austin.

Wait, are United really about to pay €80m for this kid?

Is it a Mendes deal?

He's "helping" apparently. He's not Martial's official agent, but has a massive say at Monaco and at United. Apparently it's all to help push through the De Gea deal
 
It is always possible he'll turn out to be brilliant but it's a hell of a gamble. It's not like Real, Barca and so on have been queueing up for him.
