The 19-year-old France international forward signed a deal worth £36million for Man United from Monaco on transfer deadline day last week.
The transfer fee could rise to £58m with bonuses that include him being named European Footballer of the Year, made him the most expensive teenager in history.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes English football needs Man Utd striker to succeed after spending so much on the teenager.
''Like myself, not many United fans will have seen much of him in action but, starting this weekend, he is going to be under major scrutiny because of how much he has cost, his record up to this point and the fact a club of their size has signed him,'' He told BBC Sport. ''The pressure will be immense. So I hope that he proves to be the absolute gem of a player that United think they have bought, for his own sake and for the sake of English football too. Otherwise, United spending so much on a teenager who has scored only 11 goals in 52 matches in Ligue 1 will just be used to show how the money in our game has gone completely crazy.''
