Anthony Martial is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League Greece club AEK Athens.

After playing youth football for Les Ulis, Martial began his professional career at Lyon, before transferring to Monaco in 2013 for a fee of €6 million. He was a member of Monaco's squad for two seasons before signing for Premier League side Manchester United in 2015 for an initial fee of £36 million and £21.6 million in potential bonus payments; making it the highest fee paid for a teenager in football history at the time. He was the recipient of the 2015 Golden Boy Award for the best under-21 player in Europe.

In his debut season with Manchester United, Martial won the 2015–16 FA Cup and established himself as one of the most exciting prospects in the world. His trajectory stalled the following season, but he won more trophies under the guidance of Jose Mourinho. Martial had his best ever goalscoring season in 2019–20, netting 23 times in all competitions, and he was awarded Manchester United Players' Player of the Year. However, his form declined in seasons after that and in January 2022, Martial was loaned out to Spanish club Sevilla until the end of the 2021–22 season. He left the club in 2024 and then signed for AEK Athens.

A youth international for France from under-16 to under-21 level, Martial made his senior debut in 2015. He was named in their squad for UEFA Euro 2016, appearing in the final as France were defeated by Portugal.
