French star set for Manchester United return

Posted by

Anthony Martial looks set to return to Manchester United after a disappointing loan spell in Spain.

Martial spent the second half of the season on loan at Sevilla, but failed to hit the ground running, after he fell out of favour at Manchester United. The French forward played nine times in the league for Sevilla, scoring zero goals.

The Sevilla president has confirmed the Spanish club won’t be signing Martial on a permanent deal from Manchester United, as seen in the tweet below.

Martial is still only 26, but the French international is at somewhat of a crossroads in his career. A loan spell should have sparked his career back into life, but he struggled to find his feet in Spain.

With Erik ten Hag recently appointed as manager, Martial may be looking for a fresh start when he returns to England, and will be hoping the Dutch manager will offer him a clean slate.

However, with Ten Hag set to completely overhaul the squad, Martial may be used to generate funds to improve other areas of the pitch.

  1. Martial has been a real disappointment at United, but his future is in his hands. He needs to prove his worth to Ten Hag. I just can see who will buy him and pay the wages he is on, but if he isn’t in Ten Hags plans he has to go or he will poison the dressingroom.

  2. This guy has been a real letdown. Everyone can see he is an exceptional talent. His mentality, however, leaves a lot to be desired l. Personally, I think it’s his lifestyle that affects his on field performance. No stability with excessive soap opera vibes. I had hoped to see him emulate Cantona and become a cult hero at Utd but instead, where looking at Obertan/Bellion level French impact here. Quite sad in the end.

  3. I want the new Coach to give him and chance and build him because i know he is a good player and the new Coach can make him stronger
