In my opinion, Martial should have left United a long time ago. I don't understand how United has these kinds of players and still wants magic to happen at the club. They should have seen it a long time ago too that Martial is not cut out to play at the top level. He might do well in a mid-table team but not a top team, I guess that's why Man United has been a mid-table team. Lol.
Martial still has years left, but not at the top level.
It's sad to see him come to this because this player was also good they had to add a balon d'or clause to his contract. This is what happens when players go to a club that doesn't fit their profile and they do not work hard enough. Also, the management of these young players is a factor in what determines what becomes of them in the future.
Actually this player had a lot of potential, I must have to say that the club probably killed the potential that he had. He could have been a far better player compared to what he is right now, but I absolutely agree that this is what happens when a player is in a club that does not suit his playing style. I don't know about anyone else, however I definitely think that his potential has been wasted. it is not rare that there have been numerous instances where players, upon joining Manchester United, have fallen short of expectations, you will find many examples if you search. But the question is if those players had just gone to Manchester City, the outcome of their careers could have been far different, and probably even far better.
I've always liked Anthony Martial, his debut goal against Liverpool made me very happy at the time because I won the bet. I continued to support him even when he was struggling to thrive at Man United, but it was clear to me that he had lost his way massively during his time at Man United.
I don't think he will be the same player again, with the news of him leaving Man United in this transfer window says it all. He really has to move to another club, maybe he will redeem something there or at least he can find his true self again.
