Not sure if I am worth Manchester United fee: French striker Martial
Manchester: English Premier League (EPL) giants Manchester United have created a splash in the football world by signing him for 80 million euros ($89.8 million), but young French striker Anthony Martial is not sure whether he worth the huge amount.
The 19-year-old travelled to Old Trafford from French club Monaco on transfer deadline day for a fee that made him the world’s most expensive teenaged sportstar.
“I don’t know if I am worth 80 million euros. I am only going for the sporting side. It is quite crazy for a player of my age, but that is the market,” Martial was quoted as saying by the Daily Star on Thursday.
But Martial — who made 49 appearances for Monaco — insists that the buzz around his transfer deal has not put him under added pressure and he is determined to succeed in the EPL.
“It is my job to show what I can do. I do not feel any particular pressure,” the France U-21 forward asserted. “I have been told since I was very young that I have the characteristics to play in England.
“I am in a hurry to get better and show my worth.”

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
