Monaco have also included bonuses in the deal, with United having to shell out a further €10 million when Martial scores his 25th goal for United, when he makes 25 appearances for France, and when he’s nominated for the Ballon d’Or.

The transfer of Anthony Martial could end up costing Manchester United as much as £61.6m, leaked documents suggest.
The papers reveal that Manchester United agreed to pay €50m for the French global over the course of the season.
If you wondered why Louis Van Gaal’s philosophy at Manchester United was to pass the ball sideways and backwards, I believe I have found the answer. So far, Martial has scored 8 goals, and United’s style of play mean the budget holders at United can rest easy for this one.
Another €10 million (US $10.94 million) needs to be offered to Monaco if Martial completes 25 matches for the France national team.
A website named Football Leaks clam that they have the full negotiated contract for the 19-year-old Premier League star.
If Martial reaches the first two targets but does not secure a place on the Ballon d’Or shortlist, Monaco will be due 50 per cent of any profit on transfer fees between £54m and £69.4m. Find out what the Red Devils really paid for the French starlet.
But as reported when Martial signed, the transfer could progressively become more and more expensive or United. Should united sell the youngster for a price between €60m + €100m, then Monaco will receive 50% of any figure that falls within that price range.
