His agent is in Turkey according to the local press. Preparing for a summer move?

I dont think you'll find many that are still on Martial's camp.Yeah, he's pretty much Bogarded his way through a huge contract, may as well see it out. But if the club simply can't offer him another year, it would be incredibly dumb.
The worst part is, you will have people that still think he can offer something, even after he's been booted out the door.
No surprise he is gonna sit it out to the end of the season. He’s been doing that for the last couple of seasons.
He will milk us for a few more million and then leave on a free.
Legacy deal from the Woodward era.
No loan because Martial doesn’t fancy moving… ironic.
Imagine never watching football then thinking the first striker you see is like 'Pele'I agree with every word of that.
We have absolutely no chance of clawing any money back for Martial, and Joel Glazer is a major reason why we never shifted him years ago.

It is and (one of) the key things Ratcliffe/his team need to change.No surprise he is gonna sit it out to the end of the season. He’s been doing that for the last couple of seasons.

I think some are being very narrow-sighted and a bit harsh on his overall time here. As a long time fan of the player, I'm as disappointed as anyone with how it has turned out as I had the highest of hopes for him, but you can't reduce his whole time at United to just the last couple of years.
It's clear to see that his decline in performance has come with his consistent injuries. He has been a shadow of himself since 2020/21 and you can see the change in his appearance/physique as much as his performances. Watch the video below and remember what he was capable of and look at the difference to today's version.
With regards to him leaving, it has been nigh on impossible for him to move on in the past few years, and it is the club's fault not his. He had a long, lucrative contract and nobody was going to pay a decent transfer fee for him and match this wages while he was constantly in and out of fitness and form. Besides, even during that time we have been so woefully low in quality and numbers at centre forward, he was still getting ample opportunities while available, so why the hell would he move?
Even this season, he had plenty of opportunities up until arguing with EtH vs Newcastle. Which is when fans started piling in once more. Anyway, the club need to get their butt in gear and sort out our striker issue which has been ongoing for nearly a decade. He should only leave this month if we have a proper replacement ready to come in.

That's the point, though. He hasn't really warmed the bench, he has mostly played when he's available so why move when you're still getting minutes? If we had alternatives and he was actually benched, I think he probably would have been more inclined to push for a move (like he did with the load to Sevilla). It's on the club for not pushing him out via better players in his position.I admire your dedication but Martial has only scored more than 20 goals in one season and only over 10 in another 3, 0.28 goals per game overall... and his stats were similar at Monaco
As for injuries, last season he played 29 and scored 9, 0.31 GPG so actually better than his average, there have only been 2 seasons in his entire career where he has averaged better than 0.31 GPG so not sure where this notion that he has been ravaged by injuries comes from, it is just nonsense
You can make excuses but he is just not good enough
As for our fault he cannot be sold? I don't blame any player for squeezing every last penny, but whilst it is our fault he was given a lucrative contract he is not obliged to demand that his wages are kept at that level by a new club, he should recognise that he his performances do not warrant that level of wage... but if he wants to warm the bench and make bank I do not blame him, but he could get a move if he was willing to

I can see him staying long enough to get a testamonial then not playing in it as he has picked up an injury.How far off a testimonial is he?
In that he is also a footballer?Imagine never watching football then thinking the first striker you see is like 'Pele'
Another reason I have lost faith in ETH, I would rather he played Hugill or stuck McT as an out and out striker.... either which way it doesn't really matter when ETH plays a system, style and team which does not utilise a number 9That's the point, though. He hasn't really warmed the bench, he has mostly played when he's available so why move when you're still getting minutes?

He certainly has deficiencies, which have contributed to his low goal tallies and he should've worked harder on improving them, but his overall contribution to the team has severely reduced since his regular injuries. Just watch the video of his early goals, it is a completely different player. If that was a potential new signing scoring those goals we would be very excited to get him in.

Would be fine to have him go if we bring someone else in...but will we?
Sancho…This guys is a massive whopper.
I don’t think I’ve seen a lazier, more pointless player in my time as a United fan.
The sooner we can get rid of him, the better. If we were in a position to get rid now, I’d just pay his contract up and be done. I’d only keep him now because he is a number that we need. If I trusted someone to go and get a half-decent loan in, I’d happily just feck him.
Abhorrent waste of money. We his song literally spells out

Sancho…
Martial did more in his first season than Sancho has done throughout his stint with us and Sancho costs more and is on bigger money.Not even close.
Same timeframe at the club and maybe but currently, it’s not a debate.
Martial is exactly as his song describes…….
‘Fifty million down the drain…………………’

C'ept because it's down the drain he won't cost 50m, unless we think he's winning the Ballon D'or ?
