Manchester United are prepared to let go of French midfielder Anthony Martial in the January transfer window.
The Red Devils have reportedly received multiple offers from clubs, who are interested in getting the services of Martial.
Reports indicate that Anthony Martial is not satisfied with remaining as second-choice option to Rasmus Hojlund, and as such he is keen on moving away from Manchester United.
The Frenchman’s contract comes to an expiration at the end of the season, although the Red Devils have the option to extend his deal for an extra year.
It is understood that the Manchester-based club could trigger the option, to allow them to scoop some money off his sale.
Anyway, recent reports claim that Anthony Martial could be sold within the next two incoming transfer windows.
There were reported interest in the 27-year-old in the 2023 summer transfer window, but a deal couldn’t be actualized before September 1, 2023 – deadline day.
The former Sevilla forward has made 9 appearances for Manchester United this season, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist across all competitions.
Martial joined Manchester United from AS Monaco on September 1, 2015, for a fee of €60 million.
He has made 307 appearances for the Old Trafford club, scoring 89 goals and providing 54 assists across all competitions.
The 27-year-old has had a wishy-washy time at Manchester United, despite arriving with much fanfare and having a quaken debut, he couldn’t stay consistent for a lengthy period.
Anthony Martial’s best season as a striker was in the 2019/20 season when he scored 23 goals in 48 appearances for the English club.
Why did Anthony Martial career go on a downward spiral?
Some purists believe that his desire to play as a striker caused his career to go on a downward spiral, as he was more devastating as a winger.
He made 29 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Anthony Martial is expected to feature for Erik Ten Hag’s side in their next Premier League encounter against Sheffield United.
Martial has lost his place in the first eleven of the Red Devils to Rasmus Hojlund, but he can still produce the goods when called upon.
Hojlund joined Manchester United from Atalanta on August 5, 2023, and he has made 8 appearances for the Old Trafford club this season, scoring 3 goals and providing no assists across all competitions.
Manchester United travel to Bramall Lane to play Paul Heckingbottom’s side and they will be aiming to pick up another league victory this season.
The Red Devils have had an abysmal start to the 2023/24 Premier League season, as they sit 10th on the log, with 12 points from 8 matches, losing 4 matches and winning 4.
