Manchester United wants to part ways this winter with a Habs who has stood out for his recurring injuries.
The English club does not have the dream start to the season. In addition to the upheavals around the sale of the Red Devils, Manchester United, which is only 10th in the Premier League, must manage several hot issues off the field, such as the future of Jadon Sancho, or that of defender Harry Maguire.
A Frenchman might also be affected by a departure: Anthony Martial.
A sports sale
According to information from the British press, relayed by BeSoccer, the management of Manchester United has completely lost patience with the striker, who passed through OL and AS Monaco. Recruited at a high price in 2015 – 60 million euros – the 27-year-old international, who created an illusion in the first seasons, is now only a shadow of himself.
Author of a goal and an assist in 9 appearances this season – 3 starts -, Anthony Martial, valued at 15 million euros by Transfer market, is especially at the end of his contract in a year. Unless there is a big surprise, the British club will not extend the Frenchman’s lease, criticized by a Man Utd legend in the media, but above all hopes to get rid of him from January 2024, via a transfer. No suitor is currently mentioned, but the one who scored 9 times in 29 matches last year might attract a few clubs, if his recurring physical problems are behind him.
The coach, Erik ten Hag, is in any case not really counting on the Habs this season.
Another sale looms
Furthermore, Manchester United might see its squad move more significantly, with the upcoming and expected arrival of Jim Ratcliffe within the English club. The director of INEOS, and OGC Nice, will in fact acquire 25% of the Red Devils soon, according to revelations from Sky Sports.

After the withdrawal of the other candidate for sale, Jassim bin Hamad al Thani, the British businessman, fan of MU during his childhood, seems the favorite to join the club, in a completely different formula than what was proposed the Qatari, who wanted to buy 100% of Man Utd. If this integration within the club is therefore less, it might have repercussions on the sporting aspect.
