Manchester United fans have at least one thing be pleased about following this year's January deadline day.

Despite making no new signings in this window, Old Trafford secured the services of one key player until 2024 - but there was something strange about his contract, as one eagle-eyed Twitter user spotted.

Anthony Martial put pen-to-paper yesterday. United fans feared he wouldn't extend his time at the club after reports he was unhappy during Jose Mourinho's reign.

But things have changed under interim gaffer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Reds are unbeaten under the Norwegian's stewardship.

This new deal means Martial is contracted for at least another five years - but you wouldn't have known that from the picture of his 'contract' on United's Twitter:



You can just imagine the person who made it sat there putting that pretending-to-type-when-your-boss-walks-past-thing into practice.

The real contract was probably filed away beforehand, but you can't fault United's effort. Martial had this to say about the deal.

"I am loving my time at this club," Martial said.

"From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family and I have been incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by warmth and love of our fans, who continue to amaze me with their support.

"I would like to thank Ole and his coaching staff for their belief in me and for helping me to take my game to the next level.

"This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away."

The Frenchman has netted eight times so far this season in less than 20 games, despite playing on the wing.

And there's plenty more to come in the future.
