Martial pens fresh United deal
Anthony Martial has brought speculation over his future to an end by signing a new five-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester United.
The 23-year-old arrived at Old Trafford from Monaco in 2015 having been dubbed as a future superstar.
However, the France international has struggled to live up to the hype and had looked set to leave the Red Devils this summer with his previous contract having just 18 months left to run, the club having activated a one-year extension clause in December.
The forward had fallen out of favour under previous boss Jose Mourinho and the chances of him signing a new deal when the Portuguese was in charge appeared slim.
The appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker boss dramatically changed Martial's fortune though, the Norwegian viewing him as a key member of his squad.
Martial has now put pen to paper on a deal that will run until June 2024 and has praised the work Solskjaer has done in helping him turn his United career around.
“I am loving my time at this club. From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family and I have been incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by the warmth and love of our fans, who continue to amaze me with their support," he told the United website.
“I would like to thank Ole and his coaching staff for their belief in me and for helping me to take my game to the next level. This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away.”
Martial will hope to mark his new deal with a goal when United take on Leicester on Sunday and is 11/2 to score first.
The Red Devils are 1/1 to get the better of the Foxes, who are 12/5 to follow up their draw at Liverpool on Wednesday with a win. The draw is available at 13/5.
