Manchester United forward Anthony Martial announced on Monday that he will be departing from the club as his contract expires at the end of June. Martial, 28, joined the Red Devils from AS Monaco in 2015 and has amassed 90 goals in 317 appearances during his tenure at Old Trafford. His departure was widely anticipated due to his struggles with injuries in recent seasons, coupled with his absence from the squad for several months.
Martial's absence from the team during the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City on Saturday further signaled his impending departure. In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram, the Frenchman expressed his gratitude to the club and its supporters, acknowledging their unwavering support throughout his nine-year tenure. He emphasized the importance of the fans' passion and loyalty, which served as a constant source of motivation for him.
This announcement follows French defender Raphael Varane's earlier declaration in May that he would also be leaving Manchester United. With two key players set to depart, the club faces a period of transition as they look to reshape their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
