Premier League giants Manchester United have announced the departure of Anthony Martial, who will join La Liga side Sevilla on loan until the end of the season. In La Liga, Anthony Martial will play for the team in the number 22 shirt.
The 26-year-old Martial joined Manchester United in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee of 60 million euros. But after coming to Old Trafford, Martial lost the aura of "genius teenager", although he could also contribute highlights, but most of the time, Martial was outside the team's tactical system, and the ups and downs of the state made him never get a stable main position.
Martial has not been able to play under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ronnick this season, making only 11 appearances in all competitions so far this season, most of them in the final stages of the game, and the scoring efficiency has dropped to the lowest since joining. Today, Martial's value has also fallen sharply, from a maximum of 65 million euros to 32 million euros.
Due to the problem of playing time and tactical position, Martial and coach Ronnick even had some disputes on the training ground, although the two sides later reconciled, but it is clear that leaving the team is a more suitable option for Martial. And with world cup matches this year, going to other teams will also help Martial get a stable playing time, and if he performs well, he has the opportunity to return to the national team.
According to the Team Newspaper, Anthony Martial's loan contract does not contain a buyout clause, while Sevilla promised his playing time in the agreement. In order to facilitate the agreement, Martial gave up his salary for half a season.
