| Anthony Martial looks set to have a medical at Manchester United |
ANTHONY MARTIAL is on his way to Manchester United to complete a medical ahead of his proposed move from Monaco.
United have agreed a fee of £36million for the France striker and he was given permission to hold talks.
Martial was with the French national team for the international break but left to fly to Manchester this morning.
And the deal appears to have edged even closer to completion after photos emerged of him on his way to United's training ground in Carrington.
Martial was signed by Monaco for just £3.6m from Lyon two years ago.
And they are set to make a huge profit as the Red Devils could pay as much as £50m in total, with add-ons based on appearances on trophies.

An initial £36m outlay will make Martial the club's third most expensive signing in their history, behind Angel Di Maria (£59.7m) and Juan Mata (£37.1m).
The deal has come as something of a shock as Arsenal and Tottenham were understood to be monitoring the Frenchman's situation.
However, United appear to have stolen in to secure the signature of one of France's hottest properties.
