Anthony Martial certain to leave Man United after Joel Glazer reveal – pundit
Anthony Martial may have to leave Man United on loan this summer as “no one wants to sign him”.
That’s according to former West Ham hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the Frenchman’s future.
On Monday (30 May) The Athletic reported Man United will listen to offers for Martial, 26, this summer as he is no longer one of Joel Glazer’s favourite players.
He is out of contract in the summer of 2023 but the Red Devils have the option to extend that deal for another 12 months.
Martial joined Sevilla in January but after a promising start, he failed to make the matchday squad in five of the Spanish side’s last six La Liga games.
McAvennie claims the Red Devils will struggle to find a club willing to sign Martial permanently this summer.
“Martial will leave, I’m pretty certain,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Well I say that, who wants to sign him? He left Man United for a reason and then he went to Spain.
“He did nothing over there so I don’t think there will be a massive queue of clubs trying to sign him.
“I have said that they will face this problem. They want to get rid of all of these players but no one wants to sign them.
“It might have to be a loan or maybe a sale at a massively reduced price.
“I just don’t see Martial foricing his way back in. he’s never really done it.”
Martial has made 269 appearances for Man United since joining the club from Monaco in January 2015.
These outings have yielded 79 goals and 50 assists.
