Morgan Schneiderlin says that Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney knew nothing of Anthony Martial before the young French striker was linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has revealed that club captain Wayne Rooney was not aware of who Anthony Martial was before the French striker's proposed move to Old Trafford.

News of the club's £36m bid for the Monaco forward broke while the Red Devils were flying back to Manchester following their 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Sunday.

"On the plane, Wayne Rooney came to speak to me and asked me who Martial was, because the English press had started to speak," the France midfielder told the Manchester Evening News.

"I told him he's a great player with great potential, who has played some good matches with Monaco last season and the beginning of this.

"I told him he is technical and powerful. A little like Thierry Henry, even if it's the press who are making that comparison."

Martial reportedly passed his United medical today ahead of a £36m move that will make the 19-year-old forward the most expensive teenager in football.
