Martial is good, but at £36m, is he really £26m better than Origi, who we paid £10m for? No
Martial is world class imo. 36 mill for him is a steal, I wouldnt mind us paying double that for someone of his quality. Origi is a long long way from that level despite a few impressive shifts here and there.
No such thing as a £36m steal for a 19 year old IMHO. If he turns out to be a success for United then scoring 25 goals in all competitions will trigger a further €10m payment and if he gets 25 caps for France by June 2019 that will trigger another €10m. They look very achievable targets. Another €10m if he wins the Ballon d'Or prior before the end of his four year contract with United looks somewhat more difficult but who knows if he is as good as some people think? Very likely that United will eventually pay over £50m for Martial. No guarantees with kids. Just look at Sterling and what City paid for example. He will be lucky to get on the bench next season
