Martial Bids Farewell to Manchester United After Nine-Year Stint
Manchester, May 27 – Anthony Martial, the French striker, has officially announced his departure from Manchester United after a nine-year spell with the club. In a heartfelt message, the 28-year-old bid adieu to Old Trafford, expressing his gratitude towards the fans for their unwavering support.
Martial’s time at United was a mix of triumphs and challenges, having scored 90 goals and clinching several titles, including the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League, and Community Shield. However, his tenure was marred by recurring injuries, culminating in his last appearance in December’s defeat against Bournemouth.
Despite securing a new five-year contract in 2019 with an option for extension until 2025, United opted not to prolong his stay due to his inconsistent form and fitness issues. Martial struggled to replicate his earlier success, failing to score more than 10 goals in a season since 2019/2020, with just two goals in five starts this season.
During the latter part of the 2021/2022 season, Martial was loaned to Sevilla, where he managed to find the back of the net only once. With 30 caps for France and two goals to his name, Martial expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to play for Manchester United and thanked the club and its supporters for their impact on his career.
In conclusion, Anthony Martial’s departure from Manchester United marks the end of a significant chapter in his career, filled with highs and lows. As he ventures into a new chapter, the football world eagerly anticipates his next move and wishes him success in his future endeavors.
