French teenage striker Anthony Martial won the 2015 Golden Boy Award, given to the best young footballer plying his trade in a top flight European league. Martial becomes the third Manchester United player to win the Golden Boy award after Wayne Rooney and Anderson. It is also the second straight year that a Premiership player has won the award, with Raheem Sterling having picked up the trophy last year
To me Anthony martial is most incredible player that earth has ever knw.
The boy is fantastic BUT how great would he BE if THE MEDIA And every person WITH money leave him alone and let him develop him his trainer And Most of All the people he himself trust’s LET HIMSELF KNOW HOW GREAT HE CAN BE God love him his family his friends And All who believe in him. God bless not just for Now BUT forever. Geordieboy
