Monaco chief Vasilyev: Man Utd NOT biggest offer for Martial

AS Monaco admit Manchester United's offer wasn't the biggest they received for Anthony Martial.

United completed the deadline day signing of Martial for £36million before add-ons, with many branding the French youngster as over-priced.

But Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev revealed that United were close to missing out on their man.

“There was another club that offered even more than United," he said.

“I will not say how much, but the fixed price, without variables, it was even better. And also they offered us to have him for a further year in Monaco.

“But the boy wanted to go to Manchester, it was his dream. And we let him go with the bonus of 30m euros. Had it not been for so much money, he'd have stayed."
