Anthony Martial intends to remain with Manchester United until the conclusion of the current season. Despite entering the final six months of his contract, the 28-year-old French international is determined to fight for a spot in Erik ten Hag’s starting XI. While various clubs, including Marseille and Fenerbahce, express interest, United, holding the option to extend his contract, are engaged in discussions with Martial’s agent. His preference is to finish the campaign with United, allowing him the freedom to assess his options as a free agent in the summer or potentially secure a new contract at Old Trafford. However, improvement in his form is crucial for the latter scenario.
United initially acquired Martial for £44.7 million in 2015, and despite a promising start, he has faced challenges in maintaining consistency, with his most prolific season being 2019/20. Despite a loan stint at Sevilla in the 2021/22 season, where he struggled to regain form, Martial has the opportunity to reverse his fortunes before a potential departure from Old Trafford in the summer.
