Things are going bad for Anthony Martial (28 years old) at Manchester United. Already little used since the start of the season by Erik ten Hag (19 matches in all competitions, 629 minutes with only 2 goals and 2 assists), the Frenchman was put in the closet by his coach. The latter is not satisfied with his physical condition and simply invited him to train separately from the group. It’s the Daily Mail who revealed this information this Thursday morning.
In reality, the attacker was ill during the second half of December. He has not played since the heavy defeat against Bournemouth on December 9. Absent for three matches during the intense Christmas period, he failed to regain a satisfactory physical level. He is unable to follow the collective training and especially the intensity demanded by the Dutch technician. The latter believes that the player is not working enough on his side and invited him to come back when he is back in shape. The media makes it clear that this is not a disciplinary measure.
Martial is not in good shape
If it’s not one, it still looks a lot like it because individualized physical training is not really a subject at Old Trafford. In recent weeks, many of the club’s players have been affected by various viruses and have followed a fitness program. Marcus Rashford returned in a few days for example, which led people to say internally that Martial did not follow his club’s leader to the letter. Unless he’s still infected.
Others will also say that it is a way of putting pressure on him, he who is reaching the end of his contract and who has chosen to see his adventure through to the end at Manchester United, who would have gotten rid of him as soon as possible. this winter. His one-season extension option will not be activated. There was indeed an interest from Fenerbahçe, a rumor sending him to the OM side too, showing that his rating is still high on the market. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the end of his adventure with the Red Devils is being written, 8 and a half years after his dream debut.
