BREAKING NEWS: Anthony Martial reveals the HIDDEN TRUTH behind his downfall and pinpoints where it all went wrong after confirming his departure. “I am finally leaving the club, but I need to tell the fans the hidden truth behind my downfall, which has kept me unhappy for years and eaten away at my career.” “My main goal was to win the Ballon d’Or, but after my first season at the club, the wrong coach came in and destroyed my confidence.”
France international Anthony Martial has bid an emotional farewell to Manchester United fans after nine years at Old Trafford, declaring that the club will “always be in my heart.”
The 28-year-old made a memorable debut with a stunning goal against Liverpool in September 2015, following his £36 million move from Monaco. However, his time at United has been marred by injuries and criticism from fans and media about his perceived lack of commitment.
Martial has not played a senior game for United since December due to groin surgery, and his departure was anticipated. In a heartfelt statement on his official Instagram account, he expressed his gratitude and emotions:
“It’s with great emotion that I write to you today to say goodbye. After nine incredible years at the club, the time has come for me to turn a new page in my career.
“Since I arrived in 2015, I have had the immense honour of wearing this shirt and playing in front of you, the best supporters in the world! You have been an unwavering support, through the good times and the difficult.
“Your passion and loyalty have been a constant source of motivation for me.
“I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me. Your songs, your encouragement, and your love for the club are memories that will remain engraved in my heart forever.
“I would also like to express my gratitude to all my team-mates, technical staff, and all the members of the club I have met during my nine years here. I am proud to have been able to share these experiences with you.
“Manchester United will always be in my heart. This club has left its mark on my career and offered me an incredible opportunity to play in front of you.
“I’m leaving to take on new challenges, I’ll always be a Red Devil and I’ll continue to follow the club’s results with passion.
“Thank you again for everything and see you soon. With all my affection, Anthony Martial.”
During his tenure at United, Martial won the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and the Europa League. However, he struggled with consistency and fell out of favor under current manager Erik ten Hag. In 2019, during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s management, Martial signed a contract extending to this summer, with an option for an additional 12 months.
