Martial por Kane

The lack of minutes this season – 4 starts in 11 games – forced Anthony Martial to seek a departure from Manchester United during the last winter market. The French striker ended up on loan at Sevilla FC, but an injury and a much lower performance than expected –1 goal in 8 games– suggest that the 26-year-old footballer, after 6 and a half seasons at Old Trafford, will end up leaving the Mancunian box as transferred during the next summer. Before that, the Red Devils They will try to use the Frenchman, who has a contract until 2024 (with an option for one more year), as a bargaining chip. And it is that Anthony Martial could bring Manchester closer to the summer goals of the Red Devils.

As reported ESPN, “Manchester United are studying the possibility of including Anthony Martial to facilitate the signing of Tottenham striker Harry Kane”. Who was an express wish of Pep Guardiola during the past summer has come to be in the spotlight of the Red Devils. LDoubts regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, about whom ESPN he also states that “he has not yet made a decision on where he will play next season”as well as the departure of Edison Cavani once his relationship with Manchester United concludes next June, mean that the Mancunians have to launch themselves in the forward market in the summer in search of a guaranteed auctioneer. Although Martial himself has been on Tottenham’s radar in the past, the French attacker won’t make it easy..

Although at Old Trafford “there is hope that Martial will go to another team”, either as part of a hypothetical deal for Harry Kane or in a separate deal, this medium points out that “The French striker would prefer to move to Italy or Spain if he leaves Old Trafford for good in the summer.”. In the case of Sevilla, a team with which he has a contract until June 30, they are not expected to try to take ownership of the player, so they will have to wait for new proposals. During the last winter transfer window, other teams like FC Barcelona or Juventus of Turin were also interested in the Mancunian playerwho seeks to have minutes in a top team for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

In the case of Harry Kane, his future remains unknown. Although the battering ram Spurs He has recovered his best level since the beginning of 2022, participating in 6 goals (4 goals and 2 assists) in the last 4 Tottenham games, and he has a contract until 2024, during the concentration with the English team he sowed doubts again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, stating that his main goal is “to finish the season with the Spurs… I can’t control what’s going to happen in the future. I want to get to the World Cup in the best shape possible”. Kane, who with his goal against Switzerland matched Bobby Charlton’s 49 with the Three Lions and is 5 shy of the all-time record held by Wayne Rooney, could reach the next World Cup wearing a different shirt than Tottenham.
