Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has turned down offers from Marseille, Fenerbahce, and the Saudi Arabian Premier League. He intends to stay at Old Trafford and compete for a spot in Erik ten Hag’s team until the summer.
Talks about Martial’s future have taken place, but as it stands, Manchester United is unlikely to activate the one-year contract extension. This means Martial is set to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires on June 30. Sky Sports News reports that United would consider offers in January, aiming to minimize losses.
If no suitable offers come in, Martial could stay for the next six months, presenting a chance for him to showcase his abilities before the summer transfer window. Analysts view Martial as emblematic of issues in Manchester United’s recruitment strategy over the past decade, where promising players have struggled to consistently deliver at the highest level.
Despite flashes of talent, Martial, acquired in 2015, has not lived up to the initial expectations, and the club is now looking to rebuild under INEOS ownership.
