Manchester United: Anthony Martial Announces Departure as Luke Shaw Responds to Critics
Forward Anthony Martial has officially announced his departure from Manchester United after nine seasons with the club. The Frenchman, who scored 90 goals in 317 appearances for United, made the announcement on social media, expressing his gratitude to the fans and the club for their support throughout his time at Old Trafford.
Martial’s contract with United is set to expire this summer, and after undergoing groin surgery earlier this year, he did not make another appearance for the first-team squad. Despite facing challenges during his time at the club, Martial has won the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and the Europa League with United.
Following Martial’s announcement, several of his teammates, including Marcus Rashford, wished him well in his future endeavors. Rashford, who recently revealed his plans to take a break from social media after being left out of England’s provisional Euro 2024 squad, expressed his support for Martial and reflected on the memories they shared together on the pitch.
Meanwhile, England defender Luke Shaw addressed critics on social media who questioned his loyalty to Manchester United amidst a season plagued by injuries. Shaw, who has been selected in England’s provisional Euro 2024 squad despite his recent absence from the pitch, emphasized his dedication to the club and his ongoing efforts to regain full fitness.
As the football world awaits further developments from both Martial and Shaw, fans are left wondering about the future of these two players and their impact on the sport moving forward.
