Anthony Martial had arguably his best season for the Red Devils, as the French striker became the team’s top goalscorer last season. But fellow Frenchman, Paul Pogba, suffered a long-term injury which kept him out for most of the season, but he came back strong. But with the French squad announced, Martial has got his deserved call-up but Pogba has been dropped.
Paul Pogba has lately tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, due to which he has been dropped from the squad. The midfielder was initially selected in the squad for the upcoming games in the Nations League but was subsequently dropped. This is bad news for United, as Pogba’s health issue will mean he will stay in self-isolation and miss the beginning of the pre-season.
On the other hand, Anthony Martial is elated to get his call-up to the French national team squad, after his staggering season with United. The striker has been fantastic this season and has a good chance to feature in both the games next month. Martial, for some reason or the other, hasn’t made it to the national side enough and this might be the chance to cement his spot.
With Pogba and Wan-Bissaka in self-isolation and no signings this transfer window, United are looking towards an implosion. The board needs to show urgency and sign some players to give Solskjaer a chance of winning.
