Anthony Martial (28) He is one of the accompanying players Manchester United It does not count for the next season. The Frenchman’s contract expires in June, he will not renew and wants to decide on his future in the summer. However, the club wants him to leave now so he can leave money in the box. However, whatever happens, either in these six months there will be a huge explosion in football or his signing will be a resounding failure.
In 2015, Martial was a 19-year-old kid who looked like he was going to take over the world. A good time among the elite was enough for him to endear all the greats to him. Manchester United did not hesitate and decided to put almost 80 million (including variables and fixed) on the table of Monaco to get him. Although it is a huge amount of money, almost all experts agree that if it is exploited its potential will end up being amortized.
He did not specify his position
At Monaco he scored 9 goals in 35 games, but despite often wearing the number nine on his back, he wasn’t that type of player. Manchester United need a goalscorer, a striker who will bring down the centre-backs and fight them. And in that fight, Martial always lost. He is one of the greatest promises in European football due to his unchecking, his ability to move between centre-backs, his speed in space and his ease in linking up and leaving players behind by dribbling. With another striker by his side, or even playing on the wing, is when he performs the most. However, he was asked for goals and no matter how much he was asked, he could not provide them, even in the numbers expected. 19-20 is the best in terms of records, with 17 goals in 32 League games, just a dream, because irregularity is always at hand. In 20-21 he could only add 4 goals.
Different coaches did not appreciate his qualities or he could not adapt to what they asked of him. And now, at 28 years old, football has evolved and he has not. Physique becomes more important and, in his case, it worsens. He was slower, moved less and remained uncertain. He didn’t dribble down the wing and wasn’t fast either. And inside, he doesn’t score goals and he doesn’t create them either. He no longer had all the confidence he had then and now he longed for. He is young, a new destination, less pressure and a team adapted to his conditions could relaunch a career that has been disappointing so far. Again, United pay first and ask questions later.
