MANCHESTER United ace Anthony Martial romped in a Paris hotel with a
stunning model and X Factor wannabe — leaving his wife and child at home.
The £36 million striker was given two days off by the club to visit family and
friends after his starring role in a 2-1 win last week.
But rather than spend time with childhood sweetheart Samantha and
five-month-old daughter Peyton, he took Emily Wademan, 24, away for a love
tryst.
And far from hiding Emily away, Martial — who became the most expensive
teenager in British football history when he signed for United — was happy
to walk the streets of Paris with her and pose with fans for photos.
Last night Emily said: “When we got to Paris he was happy to openly parade me
in public in front of French fans on the Champs Elysees.
“He took me for a romantic weekend but now he has gone back to his wife and
child.”
News of the affair will infuriate United boss Louis Van Gaal and French
national team boss Didier Deschamps, who have both previously spoken about
their demand for players to behave themselves.
Emily says the French international — who recently claimed he lived a “homely”
life — told her he was separated from Samantha.
Martial, who earns £90,000-a-week, paid £600 for Emily, of Gateshead, to
jet to the French capital from the North East last Monday — with him flying
separately from Manchester after the club’s 2-1 victory over Swansea two
days earlier.
They met at the five-star Sofitel Hotel and spent the day seeing the sights of
the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe and having dinner before sleeping
together.
Former air hostess Emily, who appeared on the X Factor in 2008 and 2012, told
The Sun on Sunday: “We met after he approached me on social media.
“He would message me and say, ‘send me a picture of your face’.
“He was obsessed with my lips.
“I would send him pictures and we would just chat about everyday stuff.
“It might seem stupid but when we first got in touch I didn’t do any research
so just presumed he was single.
“He sent me pictures of him in an ice-bath after training.
“When they won the game on Saturday — and he scored — he was really happy.
“He told me he was separated from his wife.
“It was only when my brother told me later that he had a girlfriend that I
realised he was married.
“But when I asked him he said it was over between them.”

Former beauty queen Emily flew from Newcastle to Paris on the Air France
AF1059 11.50am flight and checked in at the £250-a-night hotel where Martial
was already waiting.
She added: “We had been chatting on Snapchat for weeks so I didn’t think
anything of going to meet him — it felt like I already knew him.
“He sent me the address and when I got to Paris I went straight to the hotel
to meet him.
“It was a bit strange at first because he went to give me two kisses and I
kissed him once.
“He seemed a bit shy so I did all the talking — but didn’t really know what to
say.
“We were kissing pretty quickly and it was obvious he thought I would just
jump into bed with him — but I didn’t want to go all the way to Paris and
just stay in a hotel room.
“Plus I would never normally sleep with someone on a first date. So I
suggested having a walk around the city.
“We spent the day walking around Paris and although he didn’t hold my hand he
was often approached by fans and didn’t seem bothered to be seen with me.
“I took about five or six photos for them. He said he didn’t get bothered by
photographers in Paris — but was happy to speak to fans.
“We went in a perfume shop to look for his normal Prada aftershave but they
didn’t have any so I recommended Chanel, which he bought.”
The pair had dinner at boutique restaurant Pershing Hall, where devout
Catholic Martial treated Emily to a three-course gourmet dinner of prawn
ravioli starters with crab for a main.
Emily added: “Over dinner Anthony relaxed and had a couple of cocktails.
“He said he didn’t normally drink but I persuaded him to have a few. We took a
picture of ourselves at the restaurant.
Once back at the hotel things hotted up between the 2013 Miss Great Britain
finalist and the Red Devil.
Emily said: “We started kissing on the bed and I did tell him I wasn’t that
kind of girl — but I was a bit tipsy by then and we were in such a romantic
place that I didn’t hold my resolve for long.
“He was a passionate lover and he complimented me on my lips and my body.
“He made me feel really good about myself.
“It was a good end to the night. We planned to go for dinner the next day
before going to the airport — but the next day he didn’t want to do
anything.
“So he let me go off shopping on my own. I bought him some macaroons and we
ate them on the bed when I got back.”
Before they parted company, the relationship started to sour when Emily bought
some facial cream for a male friend.
“I was buying it for a friend — but he got annoyed, saying, ‘oh you are
talking to other men’,” she recalled.
“It’s a bit rich from him, considering he is married.
“When I got back to Newcastle he started to seem distant and I started to do
some snooping.
“I looked at his Instagram and saw his wife has posted a picture of them over
Christmas and she was constantly posting loved-up messages, too.
“He said they weren’t together any more — but she obviously thinks they are.
“When I asked him again, he just said: ‘I’m not married.’
“I got the impression he plans at staying at Man United for a while.
“He seemed happy here — but he did say his wife struggles with English. He said
she wasn’t making friends so that’s why they split up.”
As Martial enjoyed his fling with Emily, his loyal wife Samantha continued to
publicly post affectionate messages about her husband on Instagram while on
holiday in Dubai.
On Sunday she posted a painting of a naked man and woman holding each other
with two love hearts.
On New Year’s Eve she shared a collection of snaps of the duo accompanied by
another love heart. She did the same on Christmas Day.
Other selfies she has shared with her 56,000 followers include a snap of
Martial cuddling their daughter Peyton on November 14 captioned: “You are
the best dad of the world.”
Following his world-record move to Old Trafford in September, Samantha posted:
“Babe, for me you are and will always be my best friend the best husband
ever, a lovely daddy and the best player of the world.”
She added a few days later: “I love you my love. You are my life. We, together
forever … !!!”
In November Samantha, writing in French, warned women on social media to stay
away from her husband.
Explaining that if there are approximately 43.6 million Instagram accounts,
around 21.8 million of the profiles were of men, she warned women to “pass
on the profile of My Man”.
Samantha posted her message alongside a picture of her kissing the Man United
striker, while he was wearing oversized joke money glasses.
Last month she shared on Instagram a copy of the couple’s Christmas card which
showed the couple kissing .
Family friends have previously spoken of the important role Samantha plays in
Martial’s life following his mega-money move.
Close pal Aston Villa boss Remi Garde, who brought him to Lyon’s academy as a
14-year-old, has warned Martial about getting led astray, adding: “He is
married to Samantha.
“He seems very young for that but maybe it is better if he goes home every
night to be with them instead of being out partying and drinking.”
Martial, who has scored eight goals in 23 United appearances, has previously
insisted he is a devoted family man.
He told a French magazine: “After training, I like to come home and find my
wife. I am very homely.”
His older brother Dorian, 27, has also previously claimed: “The two things
most important to him are football and family.”
Martial’s Paris jaunt will sadden bosses at Old Trafford.
A source said: “When players are given time off it is to recharge their
batteries and to relax with family and friends.
“It is not a chance for them to fly random women around the world for
one-night stands.”
Van Gaal has strived to keep his players happy off the pitch, to boost their
performances on the pitch.
Speaking after giving his squad Christmas Day off in 2014, he said: “I believe
in a total human being so the environment is also important. I think they
are more pleased to be at home with their wives and children.
“I hope they shall give everything to beat the opponent then.”
Martial, capped six times by France, also risks the wrath of his national team
boss Deschamps. He has urged his squad to be role models, saying: “I want
players to have ideal behaviour.”
Martial’s sponsors Nike and Foot Locker are also likely to be unhappy with his
behaviour.
Last night United and the player’s agent refused to issue any statement.
