Despite the club triggering the one year extension clause in his deal, The agent of Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has revealed his client will not be staying at Old Trafford for the long term.
Martial’s contract was due to expire next summer, but United have activated a one-year extension clause which will keep the 23-year-old at the club until at least 2020. However, it is unclear whether United will be able to agree a new long-term deal with Martial, who is their top scorer in the Premier League this season.
Martial’s agent Philippe Lamboley told French radio station RMC: “I am very pessimistic about discussions going positively. “They have already sent us offers that do not meet our expectations, starting on bases very far from our wishes. “We are far from agreement, for the time being.”
Despite his success in front of goal, Martial is still not an automatic first choice at Old Trafford – and he was on the bench for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Liverpool.
According to Sky Sports, earlier this season Martial had turned down a long-term contract offer, after his agent had said in the summer that his client wanted to leave the club.
