Because his physical strength is not guaranteed, French striker Anthony Martial was not allowed by coach Ten Hag to practice with the Man Utd first team.
Last season Martial had to rest for 5 different periods due to injury. Not constantly injured like the 2022-23 campaign, but the French international is unlucky due to illness this season.
Because he was sick after the loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League on December 9, 2023, Martial had to rest from the loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League (December 13). From that time until now, the former AS Monaco player was not registered to play, thereby missing 7 matches.
In addition to not being registered, Martial was also not allowed to practice with the first team. According to Daily Mail, coach Ten Hag asked Martial to practice separately, because the 28-year-old striker’s physical strength was not guaranteed to practice at high intensity with the team. first.
For the above reason, it is still unclear when Martial will be able to reappear. The French international falls into this situation amid uncertainty about his future at M.U.
According to Sky Sports, Martial is one of the players on M.U’s push list in this year’s winter market. However, the former AS Monaco striker refused to leave and left Old Trafford for free in the summer of 2024.
If Martial leaves Old Trafford, this will not surprise fans. Because the 28-year-old striker has not contributed much to M.U in recent years. This season Martial only scored 2 goals in 19 matches, and last season he scored 9 goals in 29 matches.
