Anthony Martial’s agent has firmly denied allegations that his client is motivated by financial gain, labeling such rumors as baseless.
With Martial’s contract at Manchester United set to expire at the end of the month, he bid an emotional farewell to fans following the last home game of the Premier League season.
United had planned to part ways with Martial this summer after failing to secure a transfer fee for him in January, ending his nine-year stint at the club.
Martial joined United from Monaco as a highly promising player and made an instant impression by scoring against Liverpool on his debut. Despite his early success, he struggled to consistently meet his high potential.
Martial’s time at United was marred by frequent injuries, which restricted his playtime to just over 600 minutes last season, with only seven starts.
Post-departure, Martial is considering a return to his native France, with reported interest from clubs like Lyon and Marseille, as well as potential offers from Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Addressing rumors about Martial’s future, his agent Philippe Lamboley told Sky Sports News that Martial’s decisions will be based on sporting ambition rather than financial incentives.
Currently on a well-earned vacation, Martial and his team are carefully reviewing the numerous offers, with Lamboley highlighting the importance of taking sufficient time to choose the best option.
Martial has been rigorously training for the past two months to regain full fitness for his next move. Despite being 28, Lamboley dismissed concerns that Martial is motivated solely by money.
Contrary to speculation, Martial seeks a club with a solid and ambitious project that matches his personal and professional goals, including the potential to help achieve significant objectives and possibly earn a recall to the French national team.
While acknowledging that financial considerations are important for any professional athlete, Martial is focused on the sporting and familial aspects of his future club choices.
In a social media post, Martial expressed his gratitude to Manchester United and its fans, reflecting fondly on his nine-year journey with the club.
He thanked the fans for their unwavering support and vowed to cherish the memories and experiences from his time at Old Trafford.
Martial departs United after 317 appearances and 90 goals, leaving a legacy of memorable moments and dedicated performance on the field.
