Formed at Lyon, he transferred to Monaco in 2013 for a fee of €6 million, where he later became a regular. An international for France from under-16 to under-21 level, he received his first senior call-up in 2015.

Club career

Olympique Lyonnais

Born in Massy, Essonne, Martial spent his youth years in CO Les Ulis from 2001.[1] At just 14 years old in 2009, he was spotted by scouts from the Olympique Lyonnais academy, and he joined the same year. During his second season in the Under-17 team, he distinguished himself by scoring 32 goals in 21 games, which resulted in a call-up to the France national under-17 football team for the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovenia.

His got his professional debut for Lyon on 6 December 2012, in a Europa League group stage match against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, replacing goalscorer Yassine Benzia for the final ten minutes of a 2–0 victory at the Stade de Gerland.[2] His first Ligue 1 game came on 3 February 2013 against Ajaccio, when he came on as a substitute in the 79th minute for Rachid Ghezzal in a 3–1 away loss.[3] He made two further appearances from the bench over the season.

AS Monaco

On 30 June 2013, AS Monaco announced they had signed Martial to a three-year contract for a fee of €5 million plus bonuses.[4][5] On 24 November, he made his first league appearance for the club at the age of 17, replacing Radamel Falcao after 63 minutes and playing a part in Mounir Obbadi's goal which gave victory away to FC Nantes.[6] He scored his first goal for the principality club on his first start, a 2–0 win over Rennes at the Stade Louis II six days later.[7] His campaign was disrupted by a sprained ankle against Valenciennes in December.[8] On 27 January 2014, he extended his contract until June 2018.[8]

In his second season at Monaco, Martial scored nine goals in 36 Ligue 1 games, starting on 5 October 2014 when as a substitute for Lucas Ocampos, he gained a 1–1 draw at reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain with a last-minute strike from close range.[9] He scored twice against a ten-man Bastia on 13 March 2015 in a 3–0 home victory.[10] On 26 June, he further extended his link with the team until 2019.[11]

On 4 August 2015, Martial scored his first goal in European competition, in a 4–0 home win over BSC Young Boys in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League; Monaco advanced 7–1 on aggregate.[12]

On 1 September 2015 (Transfer Deadline Day), a deal was completed between Manchester United F.C. and AS Monaco for Martial resulting in a £36 million transfer to Manchester United.

International career

Martial scored five goals as France topped their qualification group for the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship: two goals in a 5–0 win over the Faroe Islands, and a hat-trick against Northern Ireland in Luxembourg.[13] He added two more in elite round victories against Switzerland and Sweden to confirm qualification.[14] He netted once in a group stage exit at the final tournament in Slovenia, a 2–2 opening game draw with Iceland at the Domžale Sports Park.[15]

Martial played all five games for France under-19 at the 2013 European Championship in Lithuania, finishing as runners-up to Serbia.[16]

On 26 August 2015, Martial was called up to the senior France squad for the first time, for friendlies against Portugal and Serbia in the following month.[17]
