Anthony Martial’s future at Manchester United appears to be in question as the club considers releasing the 27-year-old French striker once his contract expires next summer, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The relationship between Martial and Manchester United has seen its ups and downs since the club paid a record sum for him in 2015 when he was considered one of the most promising young talents in European football. However, in recent years, his performance has been inconsistent and he has struggled with injuries that have affected his career.
Manchester United wants to get rid of Martial at all costs
This season, despite having started three of the four games played, Martial has not managed to score a goal, which has generated frustration among the club’s coaching staff and management.
Manager Erik ten Hag has looked for alternatives and signed Rasmus Hojlund as a reinforcement up front, indicating that the club is prepared to do without Martial in the near future. Although Manchester United could extend Martial’s contract for one season, his lack of consistent performance and his injury history raise questions about his future at the club. Therefore, this season is shaping up to be a crucial test for the French striker, who will have to take advantage of the opportunities presented to him to prove his worth.
If Martial fails to improve his form and score goals regularly, Manchester United is likely to start looking for a replacement option in the January transfer market. Martial’s continuity at the club is in doubt, and it seems that the player could be looking for a new challenge next season.
