Anthony and his uncertain future at Old Trafford

Last season was a season to remember for Manchester United winger Anthony. As his form slumped, scoring just two goals throughout the season and he also suffered from off-field problems.

The problem was that he was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Which led to the โปรโมชั่น ufabet club banning him from the team for a period of time. Before returning to play again after the allegations were resolved.

However, when he returned to play, Anthony found that his position had already been taken by his younger brother, Alejandro Garnacho. He had to accept the status of a substitute. Although he did get some opportunities, nothing was particularly impressive.

The criticism was therefore aimed at and slammed because many people had high hopes for the Brazilian player after Erik ten Hag ordered Man Utd to spend all their money to acquire the winger to strengthen the team 2 years ago, willing to go bankrupt for 95 million euros. But what they got in return was not worth even a single penny.

Anthony Martial has enjoyed a dream start to life. Scoring in his first three Premier League appearances, including a superb strike against Barcelona. ​Which has brought excitement back to Old Trafford and the Red Devils will be hoping for more.

However, his limited skills and the difficulty of adapting to the tough league saw the Brazilian fall out of favour later in the season. Ten Hag turning to youngster Amad Diallo towards the end of that season instead.

Since then, Anthony has never been able to replicate the form he showed in his first three games. That form carried over into his second year. It continued into United’s penalty shootout win over Arsenal in a pre-season friendly just a few days ago.

Although Erik ten Hag has been vocal in his support for his former Ajax protege. The Ineos outfit have made it clear that they are not too happy with the Brazilian and are keen to offload him to ease their financial burden.

In the current summer market. There are only a few clubs that can afford his huge salary of £200,000 per week.

However, it seems like the heavens have come to an end as reports in Turkey suggest Besiktas are interested in signing the Brazilian. But he has insisted he has no intention of leaving Old Trafford this summer.

Anthony’s current contract with Manchester United still has three years left and with Erik ten Hag backing his former protege at Ajax. There is no reason for him to start over.

Despite reports of a possible loan move to Lille in France, Anthony’s agent has ruled out the possibility. Stating that his client wants to focus fully on the upcoming season.

The conclusion of the Brazilian’s future at this time may be clear that he does not want to move anywhere. But what is also clear is that Ineos wants to put the tag on him to bring in money to help Erik ten Hag build the team.

So the remaining pre-season could be Anthony’s last chance to prove. Whether he is fit to be a Manchester United player.
