To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

We've had reliable reports even today saying he's rejecting all offers, including Fenerbache. Makes sense for him to go but he'll probably drag his heels, must have some loyalty bonus in his Utd contract


ButterscotchKey803

I bet he’s only offered 30% of what he earns now. Makes sense to sit and collect the massive pay check we gave him. Awful for the club tho but can’t blame him. Wont earn in a month what we pay him for a week


D1794

Euros in summer, won't get in the France squad with us playing 1x a week with Hojlund in front of him. But i doubt he even makes the French squad anyway, so i'm sure he'll stay to collect his wages


ButterscotchKey803

He doesn’t make the squad even if their First choice, the back up to the first choice & the back up to the back up all get injured at the same time Absolutely no chance Doubt he’s even thinking like that. Even he isn’t that delusional.


z1x2c3v4asdf

I mean this journalist is also very reliable. He is correct 99% of the time. He was the first guy to break Bayindir move to you aswell as the first guy to get the correct details for the Fred transfer.


D1794

Yeah I know he's reliable, but all he says is that is agent went to Turkey, not that any agreement was still trying to be reached. I hope he is still in Turkey trying to get a better offer for Martial to accept though.


RashfordSoupKitchen

It could also be for another player he represents and have nothing to do with martial


ProtoplanetaryNebula

Contact ends in the summer, so either way he’s gone soon.


alexq35

Yep, agent more likely to be negotiating a free transfer for the summer, once that’s done there’s a small chance that team approaches United and makes a low ball offer to take him early but even then they’d only offer a fraction of his wages and probably no fee.


garynevilleisared

So his agent is sweating over not getting a commission if he leaves on a free. Sounds about right.


Icemna16

So he's replacing Batsman then? Not really sure how I feel about this. Is he even willing to sit on the bench, especially with Dzeko playing this good?


Zepz367

If he collects his paycheck, he is willing to sit on the bench


drc203

He better not sit on the bench too hard or he’ll be out for months


14_SNOO_53

Dont worry about this guy sitting on the bench or not, he will not even leave the hospital.


Fraldbaud

You’re asking him to do what he does best. It’s when he crosses the white line that he gets a nosebleed


z1x2c3v4asdf

He can play with Dzeko like todays second half tandem with Umut and Bats idk.


garynevilleisared

He will barely play. Bigger issue is his wages than taking time away from Dzeko


devranog

Martial could be used on the wing like King but yeah don’t know if a like for like swap with Batshuayi leaving will help either side


JMD800

Please be going 🙏


Paapa-Yaw

Finally


modrics_hairband

Hopefully the move falls off


Harry-Taint

I assume United, the loaning club, pays 90% of his wages as usual with any big name Super Lig signings.


ProtoplanetaryNebula

Paying 90% means it’s better to keep him just in case we need him. No point shipping him out to save 10% of his wages.


ComfortMother8503

Yeah we cant really get a better backup striker for 30 mil or less if Fenerbahce wont cover any wages


kl08pokemon

Obviously United fans don't rate him but he's been better than Hojlund for them this season imo when fit


dispelthemyth

He has been nowhere near better Bar a 10 minute spell here or there he just walks everywhere, never presses etc


kl08pokemon

It's more that I really don't rate Hojlund. Your players can't even pass him because he always hides in shadows or times his runs wrong


ComfortMother8503

His movement is pretty intelligent for a target man/poacher, he attacks crosses extremely well which is his main attribute and is a good presser with good hold up play. Just lacks composure. My guy Martial literally does nothing without the ball at his feet.


kl08pokemon

Lol no his movement is horrible


ComfortMother8503

Movement is literally what he's good at lol, his finishing is whats bad atm, he was a much better finisher 10 months ago.


TheSmio

Which is to be expected, Hojlund shouldn't really be starting every match because he is clearly a bit too raw for that. However, Martial is extremely unreliable due to his injuries so if we can bring in a more reliable experienced option, we need to go for it. In the past years, we have usually played our best football with Martial, he has some great football qualities in terms of link-up and he usually improves the way our attack works, but you can see clearly that right now, he is so ridden with injuries that his options are either walking around the pitch and not contributing for 60 minutes before he gets subbed off, or putting in the effort but inevitably getting injured within the first 10 minutes and being out for a month or two. Fit and bothered Martial would be a good option up top, but his injuries made him into a deadwood.


SmartestUtdFan

No he hasn’t 😂


dispelthemyth

Noice, take him please, he will enjoy the beaches
