Striker Anthony Martial is likely to leave Man Utd after this season ends.

 In the summer of 2023, Man Utd spent 72 million pounds to bring in young striker Rasmus Hojlund from Atatlanta.

 Immediately, Hojlund became the main striker of the Red Devils. At that time, Anthony Martial’s position at Old Trafford dropped even lower.

 In fact, the former AS Monaco star still has a chance. The proof is that he appeared in 19 matches in all competitions scoring 2 goals and had 2 assists.

 However, this player often gets injured. Most recently, Martial had to undergo groin surgery and was out of action for 10 weeks. This incident shows that it is difficult for Martial to stay in the “Theater of Dreams”.

 At this time, Martial’s contract with Man Utd will expire at the end of the season. The Red Devils have the option to automatically renew for another year. 

 Man Utd wants to let Martial leave. However, they are forced to look for a striker to share the fire with Hojlund in January 2024.

 But it is not easy for Man Utd to find a quality striker in this transfer period. However, Man Utd certainly cannot extend Martial’s contract for another year.

 If they do so, Man Utd will spend about 13 million pounds more on Martial’s salary (~250,000 pounds/week). They do not want to renew with a player who has little contribution and is often injured like Martial.

 It is important to know that, after David de Gea left, Martial is the player with the longest serving time for the club today. 

 He stayed with the Red Devils for 9 years, scored 90 goals and had 53 assists.

 For a long time, Martial’s performance was no longer satisfactory. This summer is the best time for Man Utd to say goodbye to the French player.

 Martial is only 28 years old, but has had a troubled career and has never developed according to expectations.
