After scoring only seven goals in 2020/21, it is obvious that Anthony Martial’s Manchester United future is darker than we thought. Cavani has proved to be a more reliable no.9 than flop Martial.

Can Martial put his horrible past behind him?

Anthony Martial has a big season ahead of him if he is to re-establish himself as a regular Manchester United starter.

Why Tony Martial’s Man Utd future is doubt

Anthony Martial has had a disappointing 2020/21 season to his standards. According to SportsKeeda, the Frenchman could only rack up 14 goal involvements in the 36 appearances he made for the Red Devils.

After 4 seasons of mixed bag performances, Martial really burst onto the scene in the 2019/20 season, firing 23 goals and providing a further 12 assists to wrap up his most productive year at United.

Many fans thought that he had finally settled into life in Manchester. But after seeing his previous year’s antics, Martial’s 2019/20 form can be labeled as a false positive.

Due to a lack of depth and quality in United’s wings, Martial was often deployed on the left flank to create chances for either Marcus Rashford or Mason Greenwood.

He was able to produce a decent output but it soon became evident that his preferred position was at the center. Nevertheless, a 34-year-old Edinson Cavani was able to dethrone him in his favored spot, moments after his arrival.

Ole Gunnar has already sorted his right-wing problems with the acquisition of Jadon Sancho; Rashford too is thriving on the left wing, which means Martial has to rethink his options.

It is quite apparent that Greenwood is considered a long-term fix for United at center. And with Cavani firing on all cylinders, Martial will have to force his way into Solskjær’s plan.

When will Martial get his chances?

Martial should get chances with Edinson Cavani, 34, unlikely to start every game.

It is imperative for him that he takes them, because United will be planning a long-term striker solution from 2022 when Cavani’s contract expires.

Martial was unfortunate enough to get injured at the end of the season and missed out on both the Europa League final and Euro 2020.

Martial works hard in the gym ahead of next season.

Before he heads back for pre-season, Martial is getting some fitness work in.

The Frenchman was pictured on Instagram working out in a gym while on holiday in Greece.His exercising does not exactly look strenuous, but bear in mind United will have told him not to push his recovery from his knee injury too much.

While he was away, Martial has been pictured with teammate Jesse Lingard and former United defender Ashley Young.

Gareth Southgate to Manchester United Doesnt’ Make Sense

Published

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time

The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best

The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss

Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.

ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.

People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.

Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.

SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.

How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?

More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.

Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.

It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.

Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track

Published

Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!

Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.

The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy

Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.

Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.

I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.

 

Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.

This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons

The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.

From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
