Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is set to leave the club this summer according to a reliable source.
Mohamed Bouhafsi, who was the first man to announce Martial’s arrival in Manchester United has tweeted on Tuesday that the French forward wants to leave the club this summer.
The Frenchman joined the Reds from AS Monaco during the summer of 2015 and made his mark by scoring an excellent debut goal as a substitute against Liverpool, which immediately won the love and respect of the fans.
That famous strike was later voted as the club’s Goal of the Season award during the annual prize-giving night at Old Trafford, beating off competition from Marcus Rashford.
Martial finished the 2015/16 season as United’s top scorer with 17 goals from 49 appearances and that included a dramatic added-time winner during the FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton, which led to earning a winners’ medal following the 2-1 extra-time win over Crystal Palace in the final.
That wrapped up a superb maiden season in which the Reds forward emphasised his massive potential.
The young attacker’s sophomore campaign in 2016/17 was less explosive than his first in English football, but there were still enough glimpses of his tremendous potential. It can turn out to be a big blow for United if they lose the Frenchman this summer.
