Anthony Martial Scores a Powerful Volley as France Draw Ukraine 1-1 /getty images

Manchester United out-of-favor striker Anthony Martial is finally back to scoring ways. The Man Utd number 9 was the hero of the day as he scored France’s only goal in the Blues’ 1-1 draw vs Ukraine World Cup Qualifiers.

SporstFila understands Martial had spoiled a fantastic opportunity to give France the lead before half-time when he latched onto a Paul Pogba pass and saw his effort saved by Andriy Pyatov, but responded well to fire level France level with a close range volley after the break.

France24 reported that Martial scored a rare international goal on Saturday September 4, but World Cup holders France stumbled again on their road to Qatar 2022 drawing 1-1 with Ukraine in Kiev.

Manchester United forward Martial forced in the equalizer five minutes into the second half to cancel out a superb strike by Mykola Shaparenko for Ukraine, the Euro 2020 quarter-finalists.

It was just Martial’s second goal for his country on the occasion of his 29th cap, with his only previous strike coming in a friendly win in Italy in September 2016.

What’s next for struggling Martial at Man Utd?

Frenchman Anthony Martial believes his rare international strike for France ‘will do him a lot of good’ as he looks to regain his confidence in front of goal.

The Blues came from behind to draw 1-1 with Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday night as Martial scored his first international goal in five years.

Inconsistent Martial has been in and out of the national side under Didier Deschamps, but repaid his manager’s faith with a vital goal to earn his country a point — his first since scoring against Italy in September 2016.

“It was a difficult match for us, we were able to come back to the score, it was the most important,” he told L’Equipe.

Martial added: “It’s been a long time since I had not scored, so it does me a lot of good.”

Poor Martial was preferred to Karim Benzema up front while Kylian Mbappe was not involved after returning to his club Paris Saint-Germain with a calf injury.

Martial had a clear-cut chance to put France ahead just before half-time but was denied by veteran Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov when clean through, and moments later the home side took the lead in some style.

Harry Maguire WON’T PLAY again for Man United

“Harry Maguire WON’T PLAY at Man United” ‼ Espn pundit Mark Ogden says Harry Maguire needs change NOW.

If he doesn’t play at all this season, then Southgate will definitely pick him to start for England

We should know by now Harry Maguire wants to stay at United and it’s because he’s well-paid. He clearly doesn’t mind being 4th choice CB with perhaps 60-90 minutes a month or even his England place being at jeopardy. Like a lot of footballers money is his motivation not the sheer pride at playing anymore.

Onana shouting at maguire was class we need more of that

Erik ten Hag has stated the two things that Harry Maguire must do to regain his place in the Manchester United starting XI amid increased speculation of a summer exit.

The England international has been stripped of the Red Devils captaincy, with Bruno Fernandes replacing him as skipper, while interest from Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham United has also been reported.

The Blues have moved away from Maguire and look set to sign AS Monaco’s Axel Disasi, but West Ham remain keen on landing the 30-year-old, with his place at Old Trafford uncertain at best, and have lodged a €23 million (£20m) bid for the player.

Never won a trophy in his life apart from last sesson with no thanks to him, but has the nerve to say he has nothing to prove in a club where so much is expected from you 😅😅 I really hope he does leave because i can’t see him playing a single game next seasoN.

Harry should retrain as goalkeeper. All you need to stand and be rock solid. And you can boss your defenders like Onana. Return to Leicester and rediscover your drive and passion again.

This is Why Ten Hag Removed Harry Maguire as United captain

Gotta agree with Craig. They ended up spending a lot for Højlund. What’s another 30-40 million to get Kane, a proven super star striker? Only conclusion is that he doesn’t want to come to United and that Bayern is preferable.Man Utd star told to hand in transfer request as Tottenham backed to secure deal

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire should hand in a transfer request, claims Jamie O’Hara. The former Tottenham midfielder would like to see the England star join his old club before the end of the summer window.

SportsFila reported: Maguire was stripped of the captaincy by Erik ten Hag last month. He fell out of favour early last season and is unlikely to win his place back at Old Trafford.

United are willing to sell the 30-year-old, who has two years remaining on his contract. However, they still want to recoup some of the £80m they spent on him four years ago.

West Ham had a bid of £20m turned down last week and are unlikely to return with an improved offer due to the player’s high wage demands. United are looking for a fee closer to £40m.

Hojlund will Win League Title for Man utd

Rasmus Hojlund heading to Manchester United: Ten Hag hoping for the next big thing. United has had a solid transfer window. Hojlund will Win League Title for Man utd

Hojlund’s potential is being bought into in a big way, with United preparing to make him the most expensive frontman that they have ever acquired. A hefty transfer fee will lump considerable pressure onto young shoulders, but Eriksen is convinced that his fellow Denmark international has what it takes to thrive with Premier League heavyweights.

Hojlund Man Utd Debut Date Revealed Breaking News

SportsFila is aware that Man United were never in for Kane contrary to what the media wanted. Ten Hag wants a young, coachable cast up front that can run, press and be long term assets. Man United are building something very interesting. Hojlund plays to win and he’s a target man number 9.

See what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United

The fact is that United basically played without a #9 last season and they won the league cup plus they finished 3rd so any addition whether gamble or not it’s a plus for the club. These pundits are just bitter because they said United only had £120m to spend and they already spent it on Mount and Onana so they had no money left in the kit. The good thing about it is that United aren’t gambling with none of us money .

Onana shouting at maguire was class we need more of that

Hojlund only joined Serie A side Atalanta from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz in 2022, but hit 10 goals for them across all competitions last season to bring him to United’s attention. Quizzed on whether he has discussed life at Old Trafford with a talented countryman, Eriksen said: “Not recently. I spoke to him when we were with the national team last time. But of course, I’ve said a lot of good stuff – and also said some bad stuff – but in the end it’s what’s going to happen.”

IN TWO PHOTOS:

I think this lad is going to thrive ,
He looks sharp and he has speed ,
The rest we leave it to THG to develop him

Levy has always made us pay ridiculous money for players. There is no way he is selling Kane for less than 120m, maybe for 150m. But that for one year left on his contract and 30 years old?? That seems more ridiculous to me. Is Rasmus a gamble? Sure but it’s someone who can develop better than Martial did. Hope we can loan a vet striker who can contribute 10-12 goals and less pressure for Rasmus.

Romano confirms Greenwood DATE as Man Utd ponder decision

Man Utd are expected to announce their decision around Mason Greenwood on August 14, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian journalist tweeted that the club will be making their decision public – over whether to loan, keep, or let go of the striker – next month.

Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future

It’s thought that Erik ten Hag will not be responsible for the decision and that it will be up to the club. The announcement will come before Man Utd’s opening Premier League game of the season against Wolves.

There have been a number of serious charges against Greenwood, including attempted rape and assault, which were dropped on 2 February

United’s incoming business is now largely done, and any more arrivals are likely to depend on departures.

There is interest in the likes of Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Fred and Donny van de Beek.

Ten Hag Receives Good News About His Next Signing

If there are exits, United are understood to be ready to go into the market to replace them.

Strong interest remains in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.

United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.

Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.

“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.
