In the Manchester United squad, 27-year-old French international Anthony Martial's recent form is worrying. Although his contract is due to expire in the summer of next season, it is widely speculated that Manchester United may regard him as an "idle resource" and release him in order to reduce the salary burden. However, according to the British media disclosure, Manchester United actually intends to activate the automatic renewal clause, will be Madier will stay in the team for a year, so as to fight for more time to look for potential buyers, so as to avoid the team in the talent and money on the double loss.
Madier has scored just two goals in 17 appearances this season, yet still enjoys a weekly salary of £250,000 a week. The club has been planning to move him for a long time, but no club has been willing to bear the full transfer fee. Despite the fact that Madir's remaining contract has only half a year left and he can become a free agent next summer, Manchester United is still eager to recoup part of the transfer fee in order to avoid the striker's "value going to zero". Therefore, the team plans to extend Madir's contract for another year.
