Morgan Schneiderlin has revealed that Wayne Rooney had never heard of Anthony Martial before yesterday.
Martial is expected to join Man United from Monaco today and is set to be one of the biggest shock deals of the transfer window.
United are set to spend around 35 million pounds on this relatively unknown forward from Ligue 1.
Schneiderlin is currently away on French national duty. He told the reporters that Rooney got in touch with him to ask who his new strike partner is.
Schneiderlin said that Wayne Rooney came to speak to him and asked him who Martial was.
He told Rooney that Martial is a great player with great potential and has played some good matches with Monaco last season.
Martial is said to be technical and powerful and is compared to the likes of Thierry Henry.
