In England, the physical demands that the coach imposes in his training are known. The Red Devils are not having a good time and, what’s more, they will lose one of their attackers.
Manchester United are not having a good time this season. They finished in last place in their group in the Champions League, so they were eliminated from the tournament early, without even being able to qualify for the Europa League. Moreover, in the Premier League they occupy seventh place with 32 points, very far from the fight for the title (the leader is Liverpool with 45 points).
To make matters worse, the Red Devils are also in the news off the field. Indeed, according to information published by the media Daily Mail Erik ten Hag cut one of his strikers after returning to club training with a few extra kilos.
It’s Anthony Martial. Of course, this was because the French striker had been ill for a month. In fact, their last official match took place on December 9, in the resounding 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth. Faced with this situation, the coach was ruthless and made the decision to send him to train alone to regain his physical form.
In England, we know that Erik ten Hag is very demanding with the physique of his team, so this punishment is not surprising.

The other side of the coin was experienced by Marcus Rashford. The striker also suffered from norovirus in December, which prevented him from playing in the crucial final match of the Champions League group stage against Bayern. However, unlike Martial, the Englishman returned a few days later against Liverpool.
His future seems far from Old Trafford
Nine years ago, Anthony Martial arrived at United from Monaco in exchange for more than $45 million. He promised to be the future of French football, but little by little his talent faded in England.
Currently, his contract expires at the end of this season and Manchester are not willing to renew it. The club is even trying to sell him in the current transfer window. to release the amount of his salary, which he did not succeed in doing.
In the current Premier League campaign, Martial played 13 matches (five starts), during which he totaled 445 minutes. He only scores one goal.
