Man Utd have lost patience with Martial.

Manchester United are likely to sell striker Anthony Martial in the summer transfer window, following the substitution incident in the win against Bournemouth.

Martial was substituted for Wout Weghorst, but went straight into the tunnel looking unhappy. The incident occurred in the 57th minute of Manchester United's 1-0 win against Bournemouth on May 20th. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United have lost patience with Martial. And with the agreement of manager Erik Ten Hag, the club will sell the French striker.

Martial joined Man Utd in 2015. However, the former Monaco striker never truly became a big player. He only scored 87 goals in eight years at Man Utd, a far cry from Marcus Rashford's 122 goals in the same period.

This season, Martial hasn't made much of an impact either. He's only played 27 games and scored eight goals. For the rest of the time, Martial has been sidelined due to injuries to his hip, hamstring, back, and Achilles tendon.

Martial's contract with Man Utd runs until June 2024 and he earns $300,000 per week. With only one year left on his contract, Man Utd will likely have to sell him cheaply if they want to release him.

Man Utd currently sit fourth in the Premier League with 69 points from 36 matches, three points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool and with a game in hand. The Red Devils only need one point from their remaining two matches against Chelsea and Fulham to secure a Champions League spot.

Coach Ten Hag wants to accomplish his mission in the match against Chelsea on May 25th. "This is a final," the Dutch coach said on May 22nd. "I hope the fans will be ready to cheer. We need a good performance and that won't be easy."

On June 3rd, Man Utd will play Man City in the FA Cup final. If they win, Ten Hag's team will claim their second title of the 2022-2023 season. Prior to that, they beat Newcastle 2-0 in the League Cup final.
