Manchester United are ready to ditch Anthony Martial in the summer after his latest sulk away at Bournemouth.
Anthony Martial was miserable after being substituted away at Bournemouth and headed straight down the tunnel, before later rejoining his teammates.
While Erik ten Hag dismissed questions about the incident after the game, The Sun is reporting United are ready to move on from Martial this summer.
The report claims United will ‘listen to any offers’ received for the French striker.
Anthony Martial future looks bleak
We wrote after the win over Bournemouth that Anthony Martial should snap out of his misery and focus on improving his performances.
He has only scored twice in 11 total appearances since returning from injury and has not cracked double figures for the season.
United desperately need to sign a prolific goalscorer this summer, or two, and it is hard to see where Martial fits in.
He has been at United since 2015 and was very lucky to get a chance this season. He has failed to make the most of it.
Anthony Martial wages
The trouble facing United is Anthony Martial’s wages, which The MEN report are £240,000 per week.
This is likely to make him more difficult to shift, however, with his contract running until 2024, with the option of an extra year, United would likely accept a fairly low fee.
A decision to ‘listen to any offers’ indicates United have run out of patience with the forward, and while he may be the best option up front between now and the end of the season, that says a lot about the lack of depth.
Even a winning goal in the FA Cup final might not be enough to save Martial at this point.
