Anthony Martial confirms Man United exit with emotional social media post

Man United’s Anthony Martial has confirmed that he will leave the Premier League club this summer in an emotional social media post. 

The French star is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season and it will bring a nine-year stay at the Manchester club to an end.

The 28-year-old moved to Man United from Monaco as part of a £36m deal in 2025 and made a lightning-quick start to life in the Premier League, scoring on his debut against United’s bitter rivals Liverpool.

However, life at Man United would not go to plan for Martial as it has been a very frustrating nine years at the Premier League giants. The French star would suffer from several injuries but overall, the forward never seemed good enough. The United star would even spend time on loan with Sevilla during the 2021/22 campaign.

Nevertheless, the 28-year-old would go on to play 317 times for the English giants, scoring 90 goals and producing a further 47 assists.

Although things have not always been perfect for Martial at Old Trafford, the forward took to social media to pen an emotional letter to fans of Man United.

The 28-year-old wrote via talkSPORT: “Dear Manchester United fans. 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.”
