Reports suggest that Anthony Martial, the star player of Manchester United, may have the chance to return to France as several teams in Ligue 1 are considering making a move for him. Martial’s time at Old Trafford has been dwindling, especially after he underwent groin surgery at the end of January, which kept him out of action for ten weeks. With his departure from Manchester United looming in the summer, there are doubts about whether the 28-year-old attacker will even make an appearance for the team again this season. It seems likely that he will leave as a free agent, nine years after his arrival from Monaco in a record-breaking deal that made him the most expensive teenager in global football. Manchester United has decided not to renew his contract, which was worth £250,000 per week.
Several teams in Ligue 1 have expressed interest in signing the 28-year-old, who will become a free agent in the summer. It is possible that Martial could make a remarkable comeback to French football. According to The Sun, both Marseille and his former team, Monaco, are keeping a close watch on the Manchester United attacker as his contract approaches its expiration date.
When Martial joined Manchester United, there were high expectations for his career at Old Trafford. However, injuries and inconsistent performances have hindered his progress and prevented him from reaching the potential that many believed he had. His lackadaisical attitude and failure to demonstrate a full commitment to the team have often worked against him. As a result, his early career promise remains unfulfilled.
Originally signed for £36 million in 2015, Martial’s contract with Manchester United eventually amounted to £58 million with additional bonuses. Throughout his injury-plagued tenure at the club, the striker has scored a total of 90 goals in 317 appearances.
