Martial's agent dismisses claims for financially greedy with potential clubs

Anthony Martial's agent has released a statement on the French striker's future after his exit from Manchester United after nine years.

After joining from Monaco for £36m in 2015, Martial burst onto the scene at the Red Devils with a stunning goal against Liverpool on his debut.

However, the 28-year-old lost his regular place in the side over the past four years, and had been expected to leave after a loan stint to Sevilla in 2021-22, only to remain on the fringes at Man United for another two seasons.

The striker has been linked to several clubs across Europe, including Turkish club Besiktas and French pair Lyon and Marseille, but he is not in any hurry to make the next decision.

Philippe Lamboley, the Frenchman's advisor, told Sky Sports: 'Anthony is on vacation.

'We are studying the different projects and we will take time.

'Anthony has made sure to be fit and ready for his new club. He has been training normally for two months.

'He is 28-years-old. I hear reports that he would be too financially greedy with the clubs. This is not true.

'Anthony wants an ambitious project to achieve high club goals and get back into the France team.

'He will choose his club according to the sporting and family project.

'The finances are important for any professional player but they are not his priority.'

Martial made just 13 Premier League appearances during his final campaign.

The striker was one of seven players that were confirmed to be exiting Man United at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Martial confirmed his exit from the club in an emotional social media post at the end of last month.

The Frenchman wrote: 'Manchester United will always be in my heart. This club has left its mark on my career and offered me an incredible opportunity to play in front of you.

'I'm leaving to take on new challenges, I'll always be a Red Devil and I'll continue to follow the club's results with passion.'

Martial won two League Cups, the FA Cup, Europa League and Community Shield during his time at Man United, where he amassed 317 appearances and 90 goals.
