Man U poised to make French forward highest-paid teenager in soccer history
Manchester United was set to make French forward Anthony Martial the most expensive teenager in world soccer after a chaotic day of transfer dealings at Old Trafford that also saw Javier Hernandez and Adnan Januzaj jettisoned.
The French Football Federation said on Monday that Martial, the 19-year-old Monaco player who has been compared to France great Thierry Henry, was granted permission to leave France's national squad to sign with United.
