Manchester United bosses glazer family eventually admitted that their intervention in Martial's stay was a wrong decision and that he should have been sold three years ago at Mourinho's request.
Martial's agent, Felipe Lambole, has recently publicly announced again that his players want to move away from Manchester United. If the winter transfer window in January is not possible, there is a great possibility that the polo king will leave next summer.
In 2015, Louis van Gaal spent £36 million down payment to sign the little-known Martial from Monaco, and joel Glazer, one of The Manchester United bosses, was so fond of him that he was "Manchester United Bailey".
So in 2018, when The mohammad asked the club to purge Martial, Glazer stopped it. The "Evening Standard" in London, England, said that at that time, the Manchester United boss twice forced the French demon king. The first was before the 2017/18 season, when the madman wanted to sell Martial in exchange for Inter Milan's Perisic; the second time was before the start of the following season, when Martial refused to return to the pre-season because of the birth of his son, and his agent also publicly announced for the first time that he wanted to transfer.
Mourinho then stepped down and Martial even renewed his contract to receive a staggering weekly salary of £250,000. In the 2019/20 season, United thought they had made the right decision, and Martial scored 23 goals to become the team's top scorer. However, his performance has plummeted in the past two years, and by the summer window this year, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could not bear it and demanded that Martial be sold.
"The Athletic" reported that the Glazer family also finally admitted that they were blind and approved the sale of Martial, but unfortunately, such a high-paid Manchester United demon king, the transfer market is not popular. So far this season, the 26-year-old Martial has scored just one goal and is the fifth striker behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Cavani.
Two consecutive Manchester United managers have lost patience with Anthony Martial, which also made Glazer realize that there was a problem with his judgment, if he had sold Martial at the request of Mourinho and signed Perisic for 5 million more, the Red Devils would not have signed Alexis Sanchez later, and the development of the club may change dramatically.
Now, United hope Lonnick can get the club back on track, with football director John Mertav revealing at the fan forum that they have not been exposed to other new managers until solso leaves the class, stressing that the Norwegian has laid the groundwork for future success.
"Out of respect for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, we didn't have contact with any other managers before he left." "At that time, our plan was to appoint an experienced temporary coach, and Ralph [Ronnick] was obviously the first choice," Murtaf said.
Explaining the reasons for Solskjaer's dismissal, the Manchester United giants said: "We are all optimistic about a strong start to the season and have reason to believe that the team can build on the progress made in the first two seasons. But after the opening of the first game, things went off plan. The club believed Ole had won the right to turn things around, but after the International Break, the team showed no reaction and the result of the Watford match made it clear that a change had to be made.
"We are all disappointed by Ole's departure, but he should be judged by the overall record of the last three years, not the last few weeks. Since retiring guiltily, he was the first manager to lead the team into the top three in a row, nearly winning the Europa League. He reset the culture of the club and reinvented the team and we are in a stronger position today than when he returned in 2018. Carrick has done a very good job in the 3 games he has led, everyone at the club has thanked him and we want him to stay, but also understand why Michael wants to leave, he made the decision before Ralph took on the interim manager."
"By hiring Ralph, we can now take the time to go through the whole process for the next manager, which will be one of the most important decisions, so we want to be cautious and thoughtful. We have also reached an agreement with Ralph who will continue to be a consultant for two years and the club will continue to support our long-term development through his expertise and advice."
Interestingly, the British media recently said that Lonnick's newly hired assistant coach Chris Armas will help the team sign Red Bull Leipzig 22-year-old rising star Taylor Adams, because the two have worked together in New York Red Bull. But this statement is far-fetched, and Manchester United fans remember that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promoted Errin Haaland in Molde, but even if he personally traveled to Salzburg as a lobbyist, the Norwegian god finally chose Dortmund.
A coach has to be charismatic for a player to join a team, and Mourinho, Guardiola and Klopp have that attraction, but it's hard to imagine a genius choosing Manchester United for a coach like Solskjaer and Armas.
