Hopefully he doesn’t celebrate scoring goals the same way.
Anthony Martial completed a shock move to Manchester United at the end of the transfer window. The 19 year signed for an initial £35 million from Monaco, and chose a surprising way to celebrate a mega money move to one of the world’s biggest clubs.
Martial didn’t go and buy a sportscar, a wardrobe worth of designer clothes or the latest footballer accessory, a hands-free segway. Instead the French striker celebrated by ordering a takeaway.
Love that Martial celebrated signing for United with a Chinese takeaway ordered in by the club. Amusing. #MUFC

James Ducker is the London Times’ Northern Football correspondent, and as such, was naturally accused of bias.

However, there were more pressing issues at stake for some.
@DuckerTheTimes more importantly… What did he order?
