Former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has signed for Greek club AEK Athens on a three-year deal.

Martial, 28, left Old Trafford after nine years at the club following the expiration of his contract this summer.

The Frenchman made 317 appearances for United, scoring 90 goals, after joining from Monaco in 2015 for £36m - a then world record fee for a teenager.

AEK Athens are top of the Greek Super League after winning three of their opening four games, having finished runners-up last season.

"I'm very happy. AEK was a chance for me and I want to give the best of myself to win trophies and bring joy to the fans," Martial said.

Martial began his senior career at Lyon before a £4.4m move to Monaco.

He has two goals in 30 appearances for France but has not played an international match since 2021.
