MANCHESTER UNITED will have to fork out £10million if Anthony Martial scores another two goals.

Martial took his Manchester United goal tally to six for the season with a composed finish against Reading in the FA Cup.
It means that the France international has now racked up 23 goals from just 68 appearances since signing from Monaco for £36million in the summer of 2015.
His arrival initially raised eyebrows with the overall fee potentially rising to an eywatering £58m.

And, due to the numerous clauses inserted in the deal, Martial is on the verge of costing United another £8.5m.
One of the bonuses was that United would have to cough up the money should the 21-year-old hit 25 goals throughout his Old Trafford career.

It is also thought that Jose Mourinho’s men will owe Monaco even more if he continues to showcase his talents.
A second instalment (also worth £8.5m) will have to be paid if he earns 25 caps for France before June 2019.
And the third will be if Martial wins the Ballon d’Or award, becoming the first United player to do so since Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2008.
