Manchester United actually paid £57.6m for  Anthony Martial

Monaco have revealed that Manchester United could eventually pay as much as £57.6-million for teenage striker Anthony Martial.

The 19-year-old Frenchman’s move to Old Trafford on transfer deadline day was the big news, but revelations by the French club’s president Vadim Vasilyev does not make good reading for United fans.
The Red Devils tripled their offer for Martial – who has scored 11 goals in 49 appearances for Monaco – within a week.
“It's true that the price for Martial is £57.6m, but take into account this sum includes bonuses which are very realistic," Vasilyev told The Sun.
"Initially Martial was not for sale, it was absolutely not planned. Since last week United started to make offers which we declined several times – £21.6m, £28.8m, £36m, even £50.4m with bonuses.
"On Sunday the player got such an offer that he couldn't have declined. He asked us to find a solution and on Monday morning Manchester United made an offer to Monaco which the club couldn't refuse.
"It's absolutely unique. It's the price of Luis Suarez or Neymar – the best players in the world.
"Right now English football is on a different financial level and if Manchester United decides to buy somebody, it's very hard to stop them."
