FABRIZIO ROMANO has explained the reasons behind Anthony Martial’s departure from Old Trafford this morning, bringing an end to the long-running dispute between Manchester United and the star player. That 85 percent of Man United supporters all across the world are completely ecstatic with this news is something that I simply cannot fully understand. 😭😭
Martial’s tenure at Manchester United is drawing to a close as his contract nears its end, with reports indicating that a renewal is off the table. While the club is willing to entertain offers for him in January, the lack of suitors willing to meet both his transfer fee and salary dampens the prospect of an immediate move. However, the certainty of a Bosman transfer at the season’s end looms if no deal materializes this month.
Renowned journalist Romano expresses a bleak outlook, suggesting Martial’s departure from Manchester United is imminent, foreseeing slim chances of him extending beyond the summer of 2024. Consequently, the club gears up to seek a replacement striker in the transfer market, anticipating the necessity of parting ways with Martial for the benefit of both parties.
Arriving at Old Trafford in 2015 amidst significant fanfare as the world’s priciest teenage talent, Martial’s journey has been marked by sporadic flashes of brilliance overshadowed by consistent underachievement. His recent seasons have been particularly tumultuous, evidenced by a meager tally of 12 Premier League goals over three and a half years, coupled with a paltry two goals across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign.
Despite accumulating 90 goals in 317 appearances for the club, Martial’s trajectory has fallen short of the lofty expectations set upon his arrival. Approaching his ninth season at Manchester United at the age of 28, Martial’s haul of four trophies, albeit minor in stature, includes the 2016 FA Cup, 2017 League Cup, 2016 Community Shield, and 2017 Europa League.
