Manchester United’s forward, Anthony Martial, is currently facing a difficult decision regarding his hip injury. According to a source, he will be holding discussions with the club’s medical department to determine whether surgery is necessary to correct the issue. Martial had been out of action due to an illness in December, but now he is struggling with a hip problem that is preventing his return to the pitch.
The France international is currently undergoing an individual training regimen in the hopes of alleviating the injury. However, the decision on whether to undergo surgery will ultimately be made in consultation with Manchester United’s medical team. The 28-year-old has not played since the defeat to Bournemouth on December 9th and is eager to find a solution to his ongoing injury troubles.
Speculation and Future Uncertainty
Despite rumors of a rift between Martial and manager Erik ten Hag, both parties have denied any conflict. However, Martial’s future at the club remains uncertain as Manchester United has decided against triggering a one-year contract extension. This decision means that Martial will be leaving as a free agent in the summer, adding an extra layer of complexity to his current situation.
Reports suggest that the club was open to offers for Martial during the January transfer window, but no concrete moves materialized. With two goals in 19 appearances this season, Martial’s performance on the field has been underwhelming compared to previous seasons. Despite this, he is expected to stay at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season before departing in the summer.
Injury Updates for Manchester United
On a positive note for Manchester United, the team’s injury troubles have started to ease with the return of players like Lisandro Martínez and Casemiro. However, Mason Mount and Harry Maguire are still sidelined, while Luke Shaw is expected to make a comeback after missing the last four games. The team’s depth will be tested as they navigate through the remainder of the season with various players being in and out of action.
