Even after Manchester United’s failure, there were teams that wanted Anthony Martial.
Football Italia reported on Sunday (July 7) that “Inter Milan want him. Marcial has long been a target of Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri are looking to sign him on a free transfer in June after the end of the season. He has been inconsistent at United, so we are evaluating him in many ways.”
Marcial is in his ninth year at United. He arrived at Old Trafford in 2015 from AS Monaco. He was criticized as a panic buy, but showed promise in his first season, scoring 11 goals in the Premier League alone. He played both in the center and on the left and kept his position even when the manager changed. He was consistently given chances, but failed to make the impact of his first season.
After a disappointing 2019-20 season, Marcial scored 17 goals in the Premier League alone. It seemed like he was finally reaching the pinnacle, but that was it. He couldn”t find a place and went on loan to Sevilla. Coach Eric ten Haag didn’t see him as a first-team option. Even when the team was short of strikers, he was usually on the bench.
After nine years of giving him a chance, he regressed, not progressed, and United lost patience. Unsurprisingly, there will be no renewal. His contract expires at the end of this season. It”s been speculated that Inter Milan 스포츠토토 would be interested in the 1995-born player. The Nerazzurri have been linked with Alexis Sanchez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Matteo Darmian, all of whom have failed at United.
Marcial is not the first option. Inter Milan are targeting Porto’s Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi. They are also considering a move for Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson. Gudmundsson would cost around 30 million euros, which is a lot for a club with limited funds. Other Premier League clubs with deep pockets also want Gudmundsson.
At the moment, the more realistic options are Taremi and Martial, who would be available on a free transfer. Martial is also wanted, but he hasn’t shown much at United. Along with Inter Milan, Fenerbahce are also interested in him. The surprising news is that Ligue 1 clubs also want him.
