He's our 2nd highest paid player currently, lower wages from that is still going to be a very high wage. I can't see him taking half his current wage. He's a good player no doubt about it, but he needs a leader type beside him, that works when Martinez is fit, even recently with Evans it has worked, but not so good with Maguire or Lindelof. I'd keep him until the end of the season, he'll have been here then for 3 seasons, all of which have been injury plagued, then let him go.
Martial exit?

Is he a forward, he is more of a left winger playing as a forward
He was definitely a forward and should have been developed as such but Van Gaal and Mourinho had other ideas .
is wide forward a position, he's not a traditional winger in the sense he's not looking to beat his man and whip in crosses. His aim was always to cut inside and shoot. He's not a modern winger who press from the front and track back. As a central striker his movement isn't good enough. Too often he holds the ball up, which he is good at, lays it off, but then stands around, instead of busting his balls to get into the box and get on the end of any through balls or crosses. Not comparing him to Salah by any means, but I'd classify him as a wide forward, in that he chips in with goals and does provide assists at the same time, whilst not being a traditional winger that hugs the touchline. We bring in these big name veterans such as Ibra and Cavani, both of whom had excellent movement in the box. You'd think seeing that in training day in day out, that you'd try and impart that in your own game, unfortunately he never did on a consistent basis.
There's no aspect of Anthony Martial's ability as a footballer that warrants even the slightest consideration of keeping him beyond the term of his current contract...at any wage.
Crazy if it ends up with us selling him for peanuts before he turns 30. I’ve never been more certain of a player’s potential. Still think he’s the most gifted and talented player we’ve had since Fergie’s time. A shame how it’s turned out.
I’m part of Martial FC but I can’t wait to see the back of him.
Pretty much
Kill the hope that kills you?

Love Man Utd more. This bloke has been useless for a while.
If noone comes in with more than 7m in 48 hours take it.
It's worth it to get that 250k/week off the balance sheet even if it's only for six months til he's gone anyway.
Maybe it ensures we get someone in during this window. I'm not saying just anyone but right now I'd take WW back as a better option for the spare hojland minutes than martial.

Ten Pence for a permanently crocked Wish.com Anelka would be a great deal, especially given his obscene wages.
His attitude and the example he sets is a net negative on the club - one of many - and we'd be better off playing any old promising youth player in his place.
Seven fecking million! Bite their hands off.
7m.. take it and run.
Whilst I agree that even Wout would be preferable to this guy, I have to believe that we can find someone out there for the ~15m or so this would free up in the budget.
That guy from Frankfurt had a 17m release clause I believe? He looked like a professional footballer at least.
id take the 7m. In reality how often is he going to be available to play in the coming months? he's been 'sick' for about a month.
7m Euros sounds good. We can pretend to mull it over and then accept.
I wudn't give them any time at all to think.
That's a great deal for a permanently crocked waste of space.
10m and its a deal Fenerbache
Anyone offered to drive him to the airport yet?
7m is more than 0. Sell sell sell
Actually surprised if they’re being offered a fee. I assumed United would accept £0 to get his wages off the books 6 months early
Why am I driving him to the airport? he earns about 200 times my salary
Uber is booked , 7.5million wages plus £5m fee is plus 12.5m on balance sheet. Go for it.
Jeez you’re on big bucks.
You are out. True members still believe in him.
Income statement, to be pedantic
No Balon d'Or clause?
We keep talking our players down and getting crap money for them
Elanga went for only 15m and is now worth double that,
Martial should definitely be at least 20m

If they can get a loan striker* in until the summer, do it.
*Who'll probably command double £7m as a loan fee.

It’s the wages that kill the transfer fee as much as anything.
We should sign Nick Nolte to replace him, and likely will.
It will wind up United Megafan Julia Roberts no end.

Selling him for 7m is a massive injection into FFP isn't it? His book value will be almost 0 now after so long here so it'll be purely profit on FFP.
Please use Martial Arts to get rid or even Martial Law!
Had the same question. This has to be good news of true?
We should snap their hand off tbh.
