Anthony Martial is slated to sign a new five year deal at Manchester United.
The young forward had been on the headlines for wrong reasons lately but since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s introduction at the club, things have changed for the player. He has been given a good run of games and the player also seems to be happy with his involvement.
But the 23 year old was on the verge of exiting the club as he didn’t seem to have a good relationship with former manager Jose Mourinho. Despite repeated attempts, the player refused to agree on terms and if Mourinho had stayed at the club United probably wouldn’t have managed to extend his association with the club.
Martial’s previous deal was supposed to expire at the end of this season but United triggered a one year option which provided the club ample time to negotiate an improved deal for him.
The club is expected to make an announcement before their match against Leicester City and it could set the tone for a host of contract renewals as the likes of David De Gea, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata are yet to address their contract issues.
