Manchester United expect striker Anthony Martial to depart the club in the summer. While discussions between the club and the player’s representatives have taken place, sources claim that such talks are unlikely to result in a new contract. Should this be the case, Martial would leave the club on a free transfer in the summer.

Man United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that the club decided not to activate an extension to Martial’s contract which would keep the striker at the club until June 2025. The player has constantly been ruled out of action through injury, with the player being unavailable over the last month due to illness.

Since arriving at Old Trafford from Monaco in 2015, Martial has scored 90 goals in 317 games. While the club appears unwilling to negotiate terms for a new contract with Martial, the same cannot be said for defender Raphael Varane, whose contract runs out in the summer as well. Although United have decided against activating his contract extension, the club are open to negotiating a new contract with the player on reduced terms.

Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed that his reported disagreement with striker Anthony Martial has been resolved ahead of the Red Devils’ trip to face Brentford on Wednesday night. Following Man Utd’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, Rangnick revealed that Martial “did not want” to be a part of the squad traveling to Villa Park.

Following the release of this claim, Martial hit back on social media, stating that he would never refuse to play for Manchester United and he would never want to disappoint the fans.

Rangnick has since provided an update on the situation, revealing: “I had a conversation with him on Sunday, a personal conversation with him about what happened and how I saw the whole situation, the matter is now resolved.”

The 26-year-old striker has reportedly been looking to depart the Premier League club during the January transfer window.

While Martial did not train with the team during Sunday and Monday’s training sessions, he is expected to return to practice on Tuesday and will be available for selection for the Brentford game.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford are also expected to return to action on Wednesday. The pair were sidelined for the game against Aston Villa due to injury.

Borussia Dortmund are already preparing for a future without their highly-rated striker Erling Haaland. According to a recent report from SPORT1, the Bundesliga powerhouse is already making a list of potential replacements for Haaland and has Manchester United’s Anthony Martial as one of their top targets.

Haaland established himself as one of the best strikers in the world in recent years and has been courted by a number of big European clubs, including Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Manchester City, among others. Borussia would like to keep the 21-year-old star but is facing an uphill battle as the player has a release clause that kicks in the summer.

In their attempts to make a backup plan in case of Haaland’s exit, the German club reportedly has 30 scouts working on identifying an attacker that could step in instead of the Norwegian.

Martial is considered available for the right price, presumed to be around $60 million, as the 25-year-old hasn’t been an example of consistency since arriving at Old Trafford. The French forward had flashes of elite talent, including a 2019/20 campaign that saw him score 17 goals and add six assists but struggled to be impactful in other instances.

With the return of Cristiano Ronaldo and the arrival of Jadon Sancho this summer, Martial is expected to see his playing time diminished, and Manchester United would be open to cash in on him sooner than later. The 24-year-old star made six appearances this season and is yet to score a goal.

France and Manchester United forward Anthony Martial agreed to a five-year contract extension that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2024 Thursday afternoon.

“I am loving my time at this club,” – Martial said. “From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family and I have been incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by the warmth and love of our fans, who continue to amaze me with their support.”

Martial, 23, joined Manchester from Monaco in September 2015 in a deal worth £36 million. 104 appearances and 32 goals later, the youngster has been hunting for a contract extension in the premier league.

After Thursday’s agreement, Martial was quick to thank new interim boss Ole Gunnar for believing in his talent.

“I would like to thank Ole (the coach) and his coaching staff for their belief in me and for helping me to take my game to the next level. This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away.”

Ole Gunnar, on the other hand, credited the French star for having “a good footballing brain.”

“For a young man, he has a good footballing brain, which, when coupled with his exceptional talent, makes for a player with an exciting future ahead of him.”
