- Player Development
- Anthony Martial's starting attributes suggest that this player is destined for greatness, but I have to admit I was looking for far more better development from him. In the peak of his career his attributes are not world class in mine opinion. Great player once developed no doubt about it. His Progress Rate is 6 out of 10 which is calculated by players age, professionalism, determination and ambition.
- Career Summary
- Anthony Martial is truly one of the world football's superstars. He has gone on to make 77 appearances and scored 38 goals for his national side. During his time with the Red Devils, Martial made 114 league appearances and scored 37 goals. In 2019 he returned to AS Monaco for £20.5M and made 38 league appearances and scored 10 goals.

Another big money move saw him in the shirt of PSG for £24M, where he made 17 league appearances and scored 12 goals so far. Not the best average rating of 7.0 throughout his career.

- ##fa-refresh## Transfer Info
- Since Manchester United just grabbed the youngster from AS Monaco they will be unwilling to sell. In season two, you might try your luck and obtain the services of Martial but it will most likely cost you staggering £80M. In some of mine saves Martial, believe it or not, was given free transfer from Man Utd after his contract rolls out in 2019. Also, three or four seasons in, and you could get the player for a price of £20M.
