Hopefully he moves to Germany if he leaves.
Won't happen, both German clubs won't come near to offer enough. Buying from the PL is something else than France and Germany like they are used to.

What's Martial's contract situation? If he's got multiple years left then there's no chance we can convince you guys to sell him to us.

2019+1 (the +1 option can be activated by United without the approval of Martial). I see a lot of Chelsea fans in the replies to that tweet hoping for a Willian-Martial swap deal.

Will that stand affect Potential Willian deal? Even if we pay over the odds for a 29 year old.?

If Martial went to another club and was brilliant I’d love to see the Mourinho backers try and explain it.

Such a terrible deal for us.

No worries, I've deleted it for you.

Klopp addresses the Pogba comments:

I couldn't imagine I would do the exact opposite of what my nonsensical words were saying.

Yeah I agree. I can see him moving to Chelsea as part of Willian coming here to be honest. Jose doesn't have a problem in dealing with domestic rivals as we all know.

I agree but some on here think Willian will do better.
Only positive we can see is Willian is RW and we don't have any but the deal itself sucks. He is very good young player and we shouldn't sell him to any league rival.

The problem is how can we expect them to sell Willian to us and say "hands off Martial" in return if the Potential Hazard to Madrid deal indeed happens.

Also Chelsea selling their 3 best players so late in the window would leave them with very less time to Replace them and it could definitely affect Willian deal which I imagine the Hold up is.

Yeah, I'm seeing plenty of rumbling again about us being interested. I could only see it if we sell Hazard and then offer United something crazy. Willian going the other way makes sense because Mou fancies him and Willian has said numerous times that he loved working with him.

It's beneficial to both clubs, honestly. Judging by the Caf most fans wouldn't be happy even though Martial isn't an every match starter.

Only if Hazard is coming the other way.

Not that it will happen, but what would people say to a Pulisic Martial swap deal?
My initial reaction is it’s not a good deal because Martial has a much higher ceiling. But if he is intent on leaving, the sad truth is we will never see him reach that ceiling with a United Shirt. We could insert a sell thru clause and first purchase option (Dortmund may want the same with Pulisic). So if done correctly, it’s a deal that can benefit both clubs and both players.

Has there ever been a swap loan?

Yeah, not sure whether it was swap but Kondogbia to Valencia on loan with option to buy, Cancelo to Inter on loan with option to buy.

Edit: Yeah it was swap loan deal.

Yeah. I think we need someone who can score more though otherwise there's too much pressure on Lukaku and Sanchez.

Quite a few would be happy but I feel personally that Martial under Sarri would potentially do better than Willian under Mourinho and that we need someone who can score more rather than another hard worker. Especially when Willian himself is inconsistent.

If we're to bring in a RW and sell Martial I'd rather do it abroad than to a direct competitor.

Agree with that. We need players who contribute goals and create chances.

Kante and we have a deal or it would be a terrible deal for us. Martial would thrive under Sarri !

Kovacic will be brilliant for City. I wish we would buy him.
Think he'd be good for just about anyone, he's a really cracking player. Shame we couldn't nab him before he left for Madrid, they got him for quite a reasonable fee too.

Although I feel with the addition of Fred our attacking dynamics will improve a lot with his energy and drive which transits the team forward with his marauding runs, which would improve chances for our forwards and every attacker including Martial will benefit from that. We were too deep Last season and only were depending on Pogba to create something when majority of last season he was played in mid 2 and his playmaking abilities suffered a lot as a result which forced the attackers to drop deeper.

If we indeed add the crucial LB/LWB like Sandro who would provide the width on the left with Matic dropping deep and becoming a 343 in attacking transition with the ball just like Sarris team plays there is no Reason Mourinho can't get the best out of our attackers as well.

I think Martial should really stick along even if it means Willian does not come.
