# Man Utd fans don’t want Anthony Martial to leave the club this summer

![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/AM.png)

***Man Utd have had a decent summer so far, but that could all change – for the better or worse – over the next few weeks. It’s expected to be a busy couple of weeks for most of the clubs in the Premier League, with the window closing earlier this summer, and Man Utd are likely to be no exception.***

So far, they’ve added Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant to their squad, but could they be about to lose a major player?

[Well, according to the Telegraph, that could happen. The Telegraph reports that Anthony Martial will not be forced to stay at Old Trafford against his will, given that the Frenchman has previously been eager to depart the club.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/07/23/anthony-martial-will-not-forced-stay-man-utd-against-will/)

Martial, of course, wasn’t a regular at Old Trafford last season. Despite making 30 appearances, just 18 of those were starts – and that’s clearly frustrated him. He’s one of Europe’s best young talents, and he clearly wants to be playing every week.

Man Utd supporters have been quick to react to the news online, with plenty of fans taking to Twitter to voice their displeasure at the news. It seems as though some would rather see Jose Mourinho leave instead.

Take a look at what they’ve had to say below…

> As [#Mourinho](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mourinho?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) considers [#Martial](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Martial?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) sale, you have got to wonder if its a similar mistake of Mourinho not realising the potential of De Bruyne, Lukaku or Mo Salah highly enough.
