SPORT SCAN – The day after the likely transfer of Anthony Martial, from Monaco to Manchester United, England woke up in shock. The Red Devils have spent a staggering $ 80 million.
As a next evening, the British awoke Tuesday morning quite a headache. No royal event on the horizon, Kate Middleton always takes care of her infant while the Queen Elizabeth II always take tea at the same time at Buckingham Palace, or even major elections that can upset the political landscape Great Britain. Could it be then the educational and vocational comeback that disrupts the subjects of His Majesty? Always not.
No, what worries our neighbors across the Channel in this first day of September, that’s football. And because a whopping transfer operated by Manchester United arouses amazement and even outrage, England. Best of all, it is a French.
“Welcome to Madchester!”
With an estimated probable transfer to 80 million euros to join the Red Devils, Anthony Martial, to 19 years and after only 52 matches in Ligue 1 in the legs, become the most expensive player in French history. Crime of high treason, he would wipe the shelves and Zinedine Zidane, transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid in 2001 for 75 million euros. What power the misunderstanding in the UK. “Madchester!” As well as the Daily Mail. A play on words (note: “mad” means “crazy” in English) that refers to the financial madness of the Red Devils. “United paid 50 million euros for a young unknown … and this could rise to 80 million euros,” also writes British newspaper. The arrival of a player who has not yet been proven in national selection -it has been convened for the first time by Didier Deschamps- fails to convince.
The mad Reds Day
Even the Sun side of the bell sound that launches an eloquent “Welcome to Madchester” to also return to the financial excesses of the Mancunian club, which is served in the well-stocked fund that offered him the TV rights to the Premier League. The surreal transfer Martial was not the only subject explosive at Manchester United on Monday, as stated in the British daily. The incredible missed De Gea transfer to Real Madrid for a fax sent one minute too late has definitely spread a wave of madness in the English city.
The Telegraph, meanwhile, stressed the weight of comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, which will weigh on Anthony Martial. The former Monaco will be “faced a baptism of fire at Manchester United,” said the British daily. As the Daily Mirror, he recalled that the French was a target for the Red Devils last season. In the current economic context, the British daily also recalls the colossal resources of English clubs and the willingness of the big clubs to invest right now in young players. It remains only to prove to Anthony Martial his English officers that they were right to bet on him.
