| Ian Wright believes Anthony Martial can help take Manchester United back to the top of Europe |
ARSENAL legend Ian Wright believes Manchester United new boy Anthony Martial is worth every penny of his whopping transfer fee.
Questions were asked when United unveiled their surprise deadline day signing of Martial for £36million – rising to £58m with add-ons – however, he has already scored three goals in his first three appearances for the club.
And Wright believes the Red Devils are heading back to the top of European football with Martial as the catalyst.
"Whoever sanctioned the move, he — or she — deserves some kind of medal for having the guts to back their judgment with that record-busting transfer," Wright wrote in The Sun.
"If Martial’s first three games are anything to go by, he is going to be an unbelievably clinical finisher who will destroy defences and significantly help United’s regeneration.
"Let’s face it, United are only going in one direction — and that’s back to the top of European football. And Martial can be the catalyst to take them there.
"The kind of pressure Martial was under in his first couple of weeks as the Premier League’s record recruit would have crushed most players.
"Instead, this absolute major talent has not only coped with it but revelled in his new-found role."
