Top 5 Lyon academy graduates who are shining across Europe

#3 Anthony Martial (Manchester United)

Anthony Martial looks like a player who is value for money for years to come.

In the summer of 2015, Manchester United bought Anthony Martial from Monaco for £36 million, potentially rising to £58 million and he was the most expensive teenager signing for a football club.

Since his move to Manchester United, he has impressed a lot and he had a memorable debut when he scored against Manchester United's arch-rivals Liverpool.

He started his footballing career at the age of 14 in 2009, with the Lyon academy. He made his debut for the French giants in 2013 against Hapoel Ironi in the Europa Leauge.

The speedy winger has already won an FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Europa Leauge and Community Shield with the Red Devils.

In his first season at Manchester United, he also won individual honours, he was awarded the Golden Boy as Europe's best under-21 player and he was also the club's top scorer in his first season.

This season as well Martial has performed very well. His strike rate is a goal every 121 minutes. He has scored 11 goals this season scoring some crucial goals against Everton, Swansea, Watford, and Tottenham at Old Trafford.

At age of 22, he is the youngest player among the top 10 goalscorers in Premier Leauge and only Paul Pogba has created more chances for Manchester United this season per 90 minutes.

These stats clearly represent how good Martial is and it should also be considered that he is yet to reach his peak in the footballing world. Clearly, he is the future of Machester United and seems like a player who is likely to be good value for the money Manchester United spent on him.
