Manchester United signed the French forward in 2015 for an initial fee of $44.5 million. He was the recipient of the 2015 Golden Boy Award, an honor given to the best under-21 player in Europe.
He was loaned to La Liga club Sevilla in January 2022; and scored his only goal in 12 appearances for the club in the Europa League.
