Ten Hag Aims to Keep Hold of Martial

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has revealed that it is his aim to keep hold of forward Anthony Martial. Martial, who has struggled for form this season, has been linked with a potential exit from the club in the January transfer window.

Struggles for Form

Martial, 28, has only scored once in 13 Premier League appearances this season, leading to speculation about his future at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag's Desire to Retain Martial

Despite the speculation, Ten Hag expressed his desire to keep hold of Martial for at least the remainder of the season. When asked about a potential sale, Ten Hag said, "That is not our aim."

New Contract Talks

Earlier this month, Ten Hag confirmed that talks were underway for new contracts for Martial and three other players - Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Hannibal Mejbri. The club has the option to extend their deals by a further year.

Potential Changes at Man United

Investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who now owns 25% of the club, is reportedly considering making changes to the structure of Manchester United. This could potentially impact the squad, with players like Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Raphael Varane at risk of being axed.
