One year from the end of his contract, the story seems to be close to ending between Manchester United and Anthony Martial. Considered an eternal hope, the French nevertheless has an opportunity to return to where it all began for him.
With tough competition in attack at Manchester United, Anthony Martial struggled to establish himself. Author of 29 games played this season for 9 goals scored as well as 3 assists delivered, the former OL player made himself as available as possible for Erik Ten Hag while suffering some injuries. The 27-year-old striker, recruited for 60 million euros by the Red Devils, will never have justified the amount of his transfer. With the explosion of young Garnacho and the confirmation of Marcus Rashford as attacking leader, there is no more room for Martial who will have to resolve to leave Old Trafford to find sensations and above all, playing time. Fortunately, the OL are there to revive it.

According to information from Caught Offside, OL could be Martial’s next destination. Trained in Lyon, the French international (30 caps) quickly left the Rhone club to explode at AS Monaco before flying to England. Martial only played 4 pro games with OL. Lyon, which finished in a disappointing seventh place in Ligue 1, particularly likes the returns of its former players such as Alexandre Lacazette, Corentin Tolisso or Samuel Umtiti who is announced to be close to returning to OL. Martial could thus relaunch in his training club because the road is blocked at Manchester United which no longer counts on the native of Massy. The English media claims that Lens is also a possibility if Openda leaves the club, but OL remain a serious possibility, provided that they make big sacrifices on each side, as the Premier League salary is incompatible with the Lyon standard at the current time.
