The curious case of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman, who joined Manchester United for a staggering £36million rising to £58m back in 2015, making him the most expensive teenager in the world at the time, was expected to set the world alight at Old Trafford.

And his perfect start suggested he'd do exactly that when he netted in Man United's 3-1 win over bitter rivals Liverpool in 2015. But his time at Old Trafford has been far from a successful one, culminating in the now 26-year-old being loaned out to Sevilla last season, where he again failed to impress in La Liga.

Man United were criticised for spending what many considered to be an inflated fee for the teenager back in 2015 - a deal that was packed with some intriguing bonus clauses.

Among the usual appearance and goal-related bonuses was one that suggested both United and Monaco had incredibly high hopes for Martial - a £7.2m payout if the Frenchman won the Ballon d'Or before 2019.

Obviously, Martial didn't come close to the accolade, but the bonus says a lot about how much potential the forward clearly still possesses, despite his poor form in recent seasons.
