The Frenchman is set to become a free agent in July 2024 and David Ornstein of The Athletic has revealed that Man Utd will decide against activating the one-year extension clause in his current deal.
As a result, the Red Devils have admitted they would rather see Martial leave on a free transfer than keep him at the club for one more season.
Given his form in recent years, that decision is not particularly surprising.
After netting 17 Premier League goals during the 2019-20 season, Martial’s form took a turn for the worse and he is currently enduring a torrid spell in front of goal that has seen him score just 19 times in his past 95 Man Utd appearances.
His Red Devils career never really lit up the way many expected it would after a Ballon d’Or clause was included in his move from AS Monaco and a debut goal to remember against Liverpool.
Martial is now 28 years old and he needs to pick his next club very carefully to ensure a fresh start gives him the best chance of success.
His career has hit a roadblock at Old Trafford and an exit in 2024 is the best thing for everyone involved. But, which club should he join as a free agent next summer?
