Tragic Martial ruined everything he touched against Southampton and his departure from Manchester United is inevitable

Anthony Martial has been criticized for his performances for a long time. But it all escalated last season when he threw away chance after chance and he continues to do so now. Leaving and restarting his career would probably be the best option for him!

Manchester United were active at the start of the game and in the opening 13 minutes, Paul Pogba got three interesting chances after standard situations, but couldn’t capitalise on more than a crossbar.

After that the game started to even out and Southampton started to push forward, who also managed to open the scoring in the 30th minute when a shot by Ché Adams was knocked down by Fred.

Anyone who expected Manchester United to go on the attack after that was sorely mistaken. The tactically excellent Saints team often destroyed the opponent’s midfield and did not allow the Red Devils to have any big chances, on the contrary, coach Ralph Hasenhüttl’s players threatened from counter-attacks.

Aside from a few interesting direct kicks or corners, Manchester United did not come up with anything and when they did, it often ended up on the incompetence of Anthony Martial.

In the second half, United were once again saved only by the brilliant trio of Pogba, Fernandes and Greenwood, who finished off the combination of the first two mentioned players.

Martial was given a chance to excel shortly afterwards, receiving two passes into interesting chances, but all he could do was lose the ball.

No wonder Solskjaer ran out of patience and pulled the French striker off the pitch in the 58th minute when Jadon Sancho came on for him. After Martial’s departure, the away team’s play improved significantly for a time.

Thus, the French striker only confirms the fears of United fans from last season, in which he played 36 games and scored only 7 goals, to which he added 9 assists.

Moreover, when Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani recover and Martial continues to deliver the performances we witnessed against Southampton, we can expect his departure, which has been speculated about this summer.

After all, this is still a 25-year-old player who, if given a chance in a team that suits him and restores his confidence, could still fulfil the potential he came to Old Trafford with. Indeed, much like it was with Memphis Depay, who is now at Barcelona.
