Anthony Martial, the Manchester United striker, is reportedly going to be loaned out to Aston Villa for the upcoming summer transfer window. This move may come as a shock to many fans as he has been one of the most reliable forwards for United this season.
According to Football Transfers, Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has shown a keen interest in the Frenchman for a potential loan deal which can offer some extra firepower upfront for the Villans’ squad. Emery has reportedly added Martial to his wishlist for the summer transfer window, hoping that he can bring some attacking edge to his team.
The report further states that Aston Villa is ready to sign Martial on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season, indicating that they are willing to invest in the Frenchman’s talent to strengthen their attacking prowess.
Meanwhile, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag recently voiced concerns regarding Martial’s injury record, stating that he could not rely on the player’s fitness on a consistent basis. That being said, it is still unclear whether United will allow him to leave on loan, especially considering the potential loss of depth in the forward position.
