Anthony Martial is reportedly ready to leave Manchester United in January as a free agent. This player from France has been in the Red Devils squad for so long and considering that he is rarely given playing minutes even though he has changed coaches many times, he no longer needs his services at the club. Manchester United are also reluctant to extend his contract which will end next summer and perhaps they are aware that giving him a contract will not have a significant impact on the club. Where will Anthony Martial's career go next and is there a team that wants to accommodate him with his performance so declining?
In my opinion, Martial should have left United a long time ago. I don't understand how United has these kinds of players and still wants magic to happen at the club. They should have seen it a long time ago too that Martial is not cut out to play at the top level. He might do well in a mid-table team but not a top team, I guess that's why Man United has been a mid-table team. Lol.
Martial still has years left, but not at the top level.
It's sad to see him come to this because this player was also good they had to add a balon d'or clause to his contract. This is what happens when players go to a club that doesn't fit their profile and they do not work hard enough. Also, the management of these young players is a factor in what determines what becomes of them in the future.
Martial failed to develop into a deadly striker on United front line, and The Red Devils management is reportedly reluctant to add to the french player tenure. I think he never reached his best point as a great striker, all season he was just a cover player. since being brought from Monaco in 2015, Martial has only been able to score 90 goals in 9 seasons, if on average he only scores 10 goals per season.
There are two clubs that are rumored to be the next port for Martial, PSG and Aston Villa, but I think with his free transfer status there will be lots of offers coming in. the only problem is his salary, if Martial wants to reduce his salary, I think he can quickly look for a new club in the january transfer window.
On the other hand, United are also reportedly interested in Stuttgart striker Guirassy, but they have to fight with several top clubs who are also interested in him. I think Hojlund is not yet fully capable of being the main focus on the front line, and so far he hasn't scored a goal in the EPL. Martial departure will provide space for Ten Hag to look for a sharp striker to be the right partner for Hojlund.
