The skirmish between Anthony Martial (26) and Ralf Rangnick is over. So much so that the tricolor international (30 caps) might even hope to make the trip to Brentford this Wednesday. Since the contradictory remarks made by the two men last weekend, the player and his coach have had the opportunity to explain themselves.
As announced by the Mirror, the Manchester United manager and his striker had a conversation on Sunday. “I saw the whole picture. The problem is now solved, ”said the Red Devils coach on Tuesday at a press conference.
“I have been here for six weeks. All the things that needed to be said were said at the press conference (following Saturday’s 2-2 draw once morest Aston Villa) », added the German technician, referring to the fact that the French international, on the start this winter, would have refused to participate in the meeting. What Martial had immediately denied on Instagram.
Early recovery for Pogba
The player, who has not experienced any sporting improvement since the arrival of the German coach last November, and has not played with MU since December 2, might find the Mancunian group this Wednesday during the trip to Brentford, even though he didn’t train on Monday. His future at Manchester United remains highly uncertain, however, despite a contract running until June 2024.
This Tuesday, still at a press conference, Ralf Rangnick, admitted to having been impressed by Paul Pogba on his return to training, Monday. To the point that the German will undoubtedly anticipate the return of the French world champion to the field. “Paul did his first training yesterday with the rest of the group and, on this occasion, he proved what an extraordinary player he can be. He will not be available for the next two matches (at Brentford on Wednesday and once morest West Ham on Saturday, in the Premier League) but following the break (at the end of January), he will I think be an option for the Cup match once morest Middlesbrough and the trip to Burnley (February 8). »
