At the end of his contract with Manchester United, Anthony Martial will be released this summer. The Frenchman has not played since an operation in January. His last appearance on the pitch dates back to December 9, 2023.
Absent since he was operated on in January to treat a groin injury, Anthony Martial (28) has disappeared from the radar, so much so that his own coach, Erik ten Hag, is unable to give a date back to competition. “I don’t know,” admitted the Dutch technician, at a press conference, regarding the prospect of seeing the French international play once more for Manchester United. “He is still in the hands of the medical unit. Will he be available by the end of the season? I don’t know.” Arriving at the Red Devils in 2015, Anthony Martial was never the reliable, high-level scorer that the club’s supporters dreamed of seeing him become.
“We were counting on him”
His adventure in Manchester should end this summer, while his contract ends on June 30. More than four months following his last appearance in the Premier League, Anthony Martial may have played once morest Bournemouth on December 9, 2023 the last match of his career with Manchester United. This season, the former Monegasque played 19 matches for a total of 2 goals and 1 assist. Loaned to Sevilla FC where he hoped to relaunch during the last six months of the 2021-2022 financial year, Martial was announced several times as leaving at the end of the season, but he always stayed.
When he extended his contract until 2024, in 2019, Anthony Martial was the top scorer of a Mancunian attack in decline since his arrival (46 goals in 162 matches in all competitions). But the Frenchman’s situation at Old Trafford has deteriorated (19 goals since 2020), and the injuries have accumulated. “We were counting on him” at the start of the season, lamented Ten Hag regarding the Frenchman, who had an encouraging first season in 2015-2016. Manchester United now intends to recruit a striker this summer to meet the needs of its attack (6th in the Premier League, United has a negative goal difference of -1), warned Ten Hag. Manchester United travel to Bournemouth, 12th, on Saturday (6:30 p.m.).
