It was a shit source and there’s been no actual rumours at all bar that
Nope, if we look for a fee he’ll just sit here on 250k a week twiddling his thumbs until the last minute. This saves us a few million and opens up a squad space and gets rid of an unhappy player. We should be writing players like this off years ago.
Fans have a tendency to blame players for being injury prone as if they intend to be that way. I remember people having a go at Eric Bailly for being injury prone after suffering a concussion from a Harry Maguire charging blindly and headbutting him.
No one's saying Martial is an answer to our problem but it's the revisionist history I find weird. Guy had 1 in 3 goals/games ratio as a LW before he turned 23. Since then injuries have robbed him of what's supposed to be his peak years now. and sad thing is he was on an upward trajectory before the injury crisis.
Now all this time here has been summed up into the last 6 months.
Just say you don't like him and join in with the many fans on here and their irrational Martial takes.

Why even lie? Martial was a key player for every single manager prior to his injuries. Even Jose who tried his hardest to sell him ended up playing him and he responded by saving his arse. ETH wbo he's barely featured for cannot stop going on about his qualities and anytime he's been available he's played him despite his lack of goalscoring form.
Just say you don't like him and join in with the many fans on here and their irrational Martial takes.
Bloody hell, no fee? Can't they help us out with FFP and give us maybe 1 or 2 million?!
Everyone minted money from Saudi and we couldn't even get a penny for Ronaldo, arguably the most marketable footballer on the planet. You think this club can sell Martial for anything with 6 months remaining on his contract?

Apparently we are in talks to RENEW his contract
I'm guessing same old story. He could go on a free, but we extend his contract so clubs have to pay a fee, and then no one wants him and we are stuck with Martial

Just release him at this point ffs. Even the most desperate clubs around won't pay a fee for this waste of space.
Surely this has to go via INEOS who cannot possibly fathom re-signing him. Unless it's on 50k p/w with a pay as you play bonus,
Baiting the Saudis to act quickly on Martial and Varane.
Yes please. He is very good the 40 minutes he plays every 10 games and he can always score against teams when it's 3-0.
Even we aren’t that stupid surely
If we renew his contract we deserve our situation, I'm starting to believe that our club is run by Liverpool fans.
Presume it’s a can you find a club in January please.
This is bordering on insanity. Nobody in the world is going to pay a fee and match his wages. Hopefully just PR.
Can we pay him as we play him for one match a year (versus Everton)
Did anyone listen to the press conference? The United Stand seemed to have missed a line that was found in other tweets on this answer
"That is an internal discussion between the club and the player."
It may not be a contract extension talk. Could be if they are ready to get transferred in January to Saudi or whatever club wants them.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in his end of season performance review.Concerningly the official website reports "talks are continuing" with him
If that's to renew it's absolutely ridiculous, we've tried to sell him before I think, and can't, so just release him at this point rather than have him unavailable taking wages for another season

If we assume he's on £250k a week (£13m a year) I doubt we renew for a year.
However if he agrees to reduce that to say £150k a week (£8m a year) for 2-3 years it's a better deal. You won't find much better for £8m a year (including a transfer fee).
Similar story with Varane.
I reckon both go in the summer.

Sky Sports reporting he’s signed a contract extension!
I would actually give up
United, even ruled by the Glazers, wouldn’t be so stupid to keep 2023 Martial.
Vanarama National League clubs wouldn’t start him
Very brave of you to WUM so blatantly in here
No he won't, endless of our managers have rated and trusted him and he's been a consistent let down
I'll believe it when I see it. Sky probably just taking ten hags words out of context.
I’d post the tweet if I knew how to.
I’ve seen the clip and they’re talking about ETH comments earlier. They haven’t confirmed it.
When have we ever led a game 3-0.
I see it like this.
We would be absolutely mad to keep Martial any longer and shouldn't even consider extending his contract.
Also.
We would be absolutely made not to keep Martial and extend his contract on the right terms as we are in no position to be shipping strikers out.
Quite the dilemma.

SKY were incorrect about the contract extension and have now deleted their tweet.
When he's injured for half the season and a passenger for the other, it's a no-brainer.
Release him at the end of his contract. Signing a new deal, even on lower terms, would be a disgraceful decision.

I assume you mean he’d be paying us £50k a week to stay here. Even then that’d be a bad deal. It’s ridiculous.
We've made a lot of utterly stupid decisions over the years. Keeping Martial beyond the summer would top the list
Seriously what have you seen in Martial to make you think he’s worth £150k a week? He’s never fit and when he plays there is a real lack of effort. He’s a worthless player at this rate.
Even a renegotiated wage contract extension would be a stupid decision and would speak volumes about the ambition of the club. In the case of Varane it's kind of understandable- you're getting a very good defender when fit. With Martial there's just been so little since his last good year in the 19-20 season. It's four fecking years since then.
Hopefully this is all just speculation
. He'll leave in the summer and I very much doubt anyone decent will sign him up.

Would be even more baffling that the Jones contract extension. I doubt he'd be well enough to sign the contact even if offered.
Who would be your replacement for the same amount?
There are plenty of players out there better than Martial that we could obtain on less wages. Most Premier League striker don’t earn his salary. The club could take advantage of players coming into the end of their contracts as there will be better options than him on a free transfers.
He’s currently earning £200k a week as a bench player. He has a terrible injury record, bad attitude, had a failed loan spell with Sevilla. 9 years at this club and his last good season was during Covid with no fans. There is no way his contract should be renewed at £150k, not even at £50k a week. He’s a failure that should have been sold 2/3 years ago.
I find it amazing how many Man Utd fans still rate him.
