Manchester United has not had much luck in recent years when it comes to buying players, as they usually pay a large sum of money but ultimately do not end up becoming the players the club hoped for.

 

Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, the Red Devils have failed to win a really important title, and in 2015 a player rekindled Old Trafford's hopes, as he was a footballer of exceptional qualities, considered by many the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He was also winner of the Golden Boy award that year, which aroused the interest of big clubs around the world, but finally Manchester United was the one who secured his signing for a total of 60 million euros.

We are talking about Anthony Martial, who at the time was playing for Monaco in Ligue 1 and promised to be the next big star of world football, which is why the club even included in his contract some clauses that would give him millions of euros if he became a Ballon d'Or winner one day, something that evidently never happened.

Since his arrival at Old Trafford, Anthony Martial carried great expectations, which he was never able to fulfill and ended up being one of the biggest disappointments in the recent history of the team, as he not only failed to fulfill what was expected of him, but he has also spent too much time injured.

 

Nobody wants Anthony Martial

According to ESPN journalist Rob Dwason, the Manchester United board has the intention of selling Anthony Martial permanently, however the problem is that for now there is no one willing to pay to sign him, so it will be difficult for him to leave this year, which will be the last year of his contract.
