The FC Barcelona would be very attentive to the situation of Anthony Martial in the Manchester United. The newspaper 'Plough' has informed that in his trip 'express' to England, Mateu Alemany and Ferran Reverter would have asked after the French, the one who has happened to be in a second plane in the Old Trafford after the arrival of players like Cristiano Ronaldo. Martial Would be one of the options of the Barça to reinforce the team of face to the wintry market.

The ex of the Monaco, by which the United paid around 50 million 2015, hto been compared with Thierry Henry in a few occasions and began his career where did it the ex of the Arsenal or Barça, in the inferior categories of the CO Them Ulis. To the Old Trafford arrived in the last day of market in this year, but was assuming chevrons very soon in the English picture by his polivalencia and big smell goleador.

In fact, in his first season in England finished like the maximum goleador of the United, with 17 goals in 49 parties. One of them, decisive in the time added of the electrizante triumph on the Everton in the semifinal of the FA Cup, that carried to the team to the victory by 2 to 1 in extra times on Crystal Palace in the final. In the 2016-17, with José Mourinho, registered eight goals and 42 parties. A season afterwards, went eleven in all the competitions, causing a renewal until 2024.

The season 2019-20 has been the best from his arrival to the Old Trafford and 'cost' of the exit of Romelu Lukaku to serve of offensive leader of the United. It finish with 23 goals, 17 of them in the Premier League, in addition to 12 assistances to his mates. The numbers in this campaign speak by himself alone: it participated direct or indirectly in 35 so many in 48 parties.

But, what has done to Martial so 'special' and that it have been compared, sometime, with Thierry Henry? Definitely, it is a player with a big smell goleador and big speed. It is a pure extreme, that can play in both lanes, but also surrenders very well in positions more internal. To the Barça likes him a lot his polivalencia and that, when has confidence, can be a nightmare in the area.

Points for of the Barça

Precisely it has been the confidence what has been missing him to Anthony Martial in this season, place has remained relegado to the bench (and of some way, in a second flat) after the arrival of players like Cristiano or Jadon Sancho. Andl French needs to feel 'protagonist' to surrender to the maximum level, as it achieved it in the season 2019-20 after the exit of Lukaku. And it is something that, without place to doubts, could 'fulfil' in the Barça.

It is a very offensive profile, with goal, desborde and speed. The representatives of the Barça are loved with him, but treats of a second option in case that the 'operation Ferran' fail. For now, the culés have very difficult to carry to the international by Spain, because the City does not yield to the 'proposed' of cession.
