Lyon have sent their best wishes to their former player Anthony Martial for his impending move to Manchester United.

The forward started his career with Lyon and after making just four Ligue 1 appearances for Les Gones, Monaco snapped him up for a fee of around €5m in 2013.




Martial is on the verge of joining Manchester United for a hefty transfer fee today and was in England yesterday to undergo medical with the Premier League giants.

Lyon have wished luck to their former player and a statement on their Twitter feed read: “Good luck Anthony Martial at Manchester United.”
 


Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Monaco for an initial fee of around €60m and the figure could rise up to €80m based on his performances at Old Trafford in the future.

Once he completes the move to Old Trafford, the 19-year-old forward will become the most expensive teenager in the world.

Martial clocked up 48 appearances for Monaco last season and found the back of the net 12 times in all competitions.

The forward could make his debut for Manchester United at Old Trafford against Liverpool after the international break.
