Mason Greenwood is the only one on Manchester United’s attack that is scoring goals this season. Anthony Martial’s situation looks especially bleak.
It’s not looking good for Anthony Martial’s future at Manchester United because his deal is almost up and there aren’t any signs that it will be extended. Mason Greenwood has found his scoring touch again at Getafe, and Erik ten Hag is said to be looking for a new striker.
Martial’s time at United is coming to an end. He has only scored one goal in 14 games this season and doesn’t make much of an effect when he comes off the bench.
That would be a typical end to his nine-year stay at Old Trafford, full of anger at not reaching the level of potential he offered as a teenager in 2015.
But while Ten Hag is willing to give Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Hannibal Mejbri one-year extensions on their contracts, there is no hope that Martial will get the same fate.
There have been rumors about a new striker coming in during the January transfer window. This is likely a short-term solution that United fans have grown used to seeing over the last ten years.
A lot of people say that Ten Hag is interested in Mehdi Taremi of FC Porto, Wissam Ben Yedder of AS Monaco, and Gabriel Barbosa of Flamengo.
But some fans are wondering if United’s problems at the offensive end will lead to Greenwood’s return from his season-long loan in Spain.
