| Anthony Martial insisted the expectation that comes with his huge fee does not faze him |
ANTHONY MARTIAL last night vowed to handle the pressure of his £36million move to Manchester United.
Martial, 19, has become the world's most expensive teenager, despite having made only 29 French League starts - and United have agreed to pay Monaco a further £20m in add-ons dependant on goals, Champions League success, international caps and even a bonus if he wins the Ballon D'Or.
But Martial insisted the huge fee and the expectation that comes with it will not faze him.
"I don't feel the pressure," he said. "I know there is pressure but I'm ready for it. I'm very happy because it's a big club in England and I have worked hard for this. I'm very proud.
"It's not easy to speak about myself but I am a very fast player. I spoke with the coach and I know that I need to work very hard.
"I hope that everything will go well for me at this club. I'm very happy because the supporters are great here. I will be ready [for his debut] when the time comes."
