Transfer News: Top 10 potential free agents in 2024
7. Anthony Martial
Anthony Martial's agent recently announced that the Frenchman will see out his contract through to the summer before moving on as a free agent. It will bring an end to a topsy-turvy nine-year association between the Red Devils and Martial who moved in 2015 for a British record transfer fee at the time.
The Frenchman has scored 90 goals in 317 games during his time at United but has endured a wretched time since his marquee 2019-20 season where he scored 23 goals in all competitions. In the four seasons since, Martial has scored only 19 goals including a measly two strikes in 19 games this campaign. He remains sidelined till April with a groin injury.

Still only 28, Martial could attract interest from clubs across Europe. But it remains to be seen if teams could see past his inconsistency and injury issues and afford his lofty £250,000/week wages.
