Despite his desires elsewhere and the whistles heard when he entered the game, Anthony Martial (26 years old, 8 appearances and 1 goal in the Premier League this season) participated in Manchester United‘s victory against West Ham (1-0) Saturday. The French striker was the penultimate pass on this action concluded by Marcus Rashford in added time. A contribution that manager Ralf Rangnick is delighted with.
“When we last spoke a week and a half ago, I said to him, ‘listen, you just have to stay professional until the last day.’ “And that doesn’t matter how long he stays,” said the Red Devils boss. “I think that conversation was beneficial. He was in the squad for the previous two games and today (Saturday) he played a essential in the action of the goal.”
“I know he’s a top player, one of the best strikers in the Premier League. But we have other players in his position and it’s his will to leave. But as I told him, it takes time. time to find an agreement. His way of training and playing shows his professionalism, that’s what I expect from everyone. I’m glad he played and contributed to the action of the goal”, reacted the German, not against the idea of keeping Martial.
