However, despite being one of the club’s longest-serving players, the 26-year-old has always struggled for consistency with his best campaign, which saw him net 17 league goals, coming under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in the 2019-20 season.
Although previously speculated to be up for sale this transfer window following his loan move last season, ten Hag appears to have the Frenchman very much in his thoughts.
During the Red Devils’ pre-season tour, Martial has been a standout performer, bagging three goals in as many appearances.
What this latest news may mean for teammate and wantaway superstar Cristiano Ronaldo remains to be seen, however, one thing is for sure, with Martial putting in some impressive early form, the United-faithful will be hoping that the former Monaco striker can finally step up to the plate and deliver next season.
