This summer's transfer window is anticipated to see Manchester United bid Anthony Martial farewell.
Thierry Henry, a former Arsenal player, once claimed that Anthony Martial, after joining Manchester United, was just like him. But now that his situation at the team appears hopeless, a transfer away beckons.
With Erik ten Hag in charge, United are anticipated to have a significant transfer window as he looks to bring his football ideas to Old Trafford. The club's board hand-picked the Dutchman to revive the good times.
A number of new arrivals are anticipated, including Frenkie de Jong, who is the Red Devils' main target due to midfield concerns. Despite being driven to the negotiating table by their financial issues, Barcelona does not want to lose the 25-year-old.
Tyrell Malacia, Antony, Jurrien Timber, and Lisandro Martinez are more potential additions, however Martial is one player who might be leaving. The Frenchman's future remains uncertain as he returns after a disappointing loan stint at Sevilla.

The forward will give Ten Hag the opportunity to have a better look at him during preseason practice, but there is a sense that his time with the team may be coming to an end. The former Monaco player has come a long way since his first appearance, when many predicted greatness for him.
And among them was Henry, a former Premier League player and Arsenal legend who played in the same position as Martial before rising to fame as a goalscoring hero in north London. Henry grew up in the same neighborhood as Martial. Lee Dixon, an old friend from the Gunners, told him everything during a conversation.
Dixon said in the Handbrake Off Podcast, "I assumed Henry knew Martial because they're from the same area in France so I asked him about Martial." I asked, "What's he like?" He gave me that look he often gives, as if to say, "Have I not previously spoken to you about this?"
And he added, "He needs to go through the process like I did with you guys, and I don't know if the Manchester United dressing room is like that. He's exactly what I was when I arrived to Arsenal. He claimed that was what made him.
Because he is really brilliant, as Thierry was, and I believe his development would have been similar, comparing himself to Martial or another player to him really gave a picture of what Martial was like and what his character was like.
Martial appears to be leaving Old Trafford, or else he will continue to play little, therefore Henry's prophecy does not seem to have come true. For the United player to have half the Premier League career that Henry did, things would have to change dramatically.
