Me too. Maybe he should have been loaned at the beginning of this season once Ronaldo came in.Good luck to Martial. I believe in his talent.
Sounds like that’s the deal. No loan fee but they are covering his wages.Are we not still paying some of his wages.
100% agree, Martial is the most frustrating player I’ve watched at United. He has the talent to be world class yet he doesn’t have the fight and passion to get thereWish him well but definitely the right call to cut our losses on him. He doesn’t have elite level mentality to be part of a successful team.
Well, both him and Marcus had 6 years to figure out what they need to do with their careers, disregarding the manager and state of the team.Sad to see him go, although this is undoubtedly the best move for all parties.
His United career became stagnant which is hardly unsurprising given the state of the team. The same thing has happened to the likes of Rashford.
I haven't given up on him just yet. I believe he'll be excellent at Sevilla and it'll act as the catalyst to kick start his career. It's a fresh start, not as much pressure and a less toxic environment than United's currently.
Telling quotes from James Ducker about that:Well, both him and Marcus had 6 years to figure out what they need to do with their careers, disregarding the manager and state of the team.
When things got shitty, both of them chose to sulk, especially under Mourinho.
If you sit on your ass and don't run for half the games you're playing and you're suddenly 26 on quite the downfall, it's all on you, not on the team/manager/club.
Martial was famously scolded by Solskjaer in the dressing room after the Frenchman barely joined in a warm-up before a game against Chelsea after being named as a substitute, and the struggles to engage the striker became more pronounced as time went on. By Solskjaer’s final months in charge, he had fallen way down the pecking order and things did not change under Rangnick.
The blame, in truth, can be shared around. In six-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, Martial has played under four managers, all with very different styles and approaches and contrasting opinions about the player’s best position. The decision to take the No 9 shirt off Martial and give it to Zlatan Ibrahimovic a year after his arrival also went down badly with the younger player and could have been better handled, particularly given the impact he made during his debut season.
At the same time, Martial has often struggled to rise to the challenge presented by increased competition in his position and the familiar complaints about workrate and mindset - that crucial bit between the ears - have remained consistent even as managers have changed.

Hang on, they wheeled out a legend who played for Madrid and Barcelona to motivate him to play well for Sevilla? How much did they pay him? They’re already worried Martial won’t pull his weight!Tweet

That's a pretty cool welcome for the player, even if he played for other Spanish clubsTweet

Just stands there as usualPoor off the ball movement there.
Technically not, but not there's no loan fee, which obviously wouldn't have been the case if he earned less.Are we not still paying some of his wages.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about that being the caseI doubt we will ever see him in a red shirt again.
Good luck to him though. Hopefully, he can recapture his form in Spain and become a success over there.
He never really hit the heights we initially expected but he was at least one of our better players during a time of general mediocrity.
Basically: "Welcome to la liga, welcome to Sevilla, one of the big clubs in Spain and in Europe. A club with great support. I wish you all the best and I'll see you soon. Hugs, R9".Can someone please translate the video message from Ronaldo?
