Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is not prepared to allow Anthony Martial to leave the club, but he will try to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to stay in clear-air talks. Meanwhile, Jules Kounde’s move to Chelsea and Jules Tanganga’s future at Tottenham are also in doubt. Read on to find out what the latest is. Let us begin with the current situation in Manchester United’s first Premier League match against Brighton.
Manchester United manager will not allow Anthony Martial to leave the club
Erik ten Hag has made it clear that he will not let Anthony Martial leave Manchester United. The French midfielder impressed fans during his loan spell at Sevilla last season but failed to impress at Old Trafford. In fact, he had fallen so far down the pecking order that he looked destined to leave the club permanently. But this summer, Martial has put in a fantastic pre-season for Manchester United, proving to be a valuable asset to the club.
While the club had been prepared to listen to offers for the Frenchman, they refused. The Frenchman was unhappy with his season with Manchester United and scored only two goals in 23 appearances. Martial spent the second half of the season on loan at Sevilla and did not appear on the two-week tour due to a family issue. Ten Hag has assured the club that Martial will not leave – and is confident he can get him firing again.
Erik ten Hag will try to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to stay in clear-air talks
It’s not clear whether United will convince Cristiano Ronaldo to stay or leave, but the club is clearly trying to keep their star man. Ronaldo is under contract until 2023 and has been keen to stay, but he wants to play in the Champions League and has reportedly spoken to his agent Jorge Mendes about other options. The former Manchester United player will not play for an English club this summer and does not fit into the PSG project.
Manchester United have been linked with a number of top players in recent months, including Juan Mata, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Matic. However, there are rumours linking the Portuguese international with a move to Aston Villa. The club’s fans are understandably anxious to keep Ronaldo at the club, and if the Portuguese midfielder decides to leave, it will be hard for them to replace him.
Jules Kounde’s move to Chelsea is in doubt
Chelsea’s transfer of Sevilla winger Jules Kounde looks to be in doubt due to a reported injury to the player. The player was left out of the squad for a friendly against Sevilla in Lagos, but later voluntarily travelled to Southern Portugal. While the move was hailed as a huge coup for Chelsea, it could put the deal in doubt. Kounde’s PS55million transfer fee had already been agreed, while his personal terms were also agreed.
Sevilla are still waiting for Chelsea to send over the necessary documentation to sign the player. Kounde’s representatives have also said that they will hold talks with Barcelona co-owner Todd Boehly to put the deal in writing. However, it is still possible that Barcelona could make a last-minute bid to snag the player. Barcelona have also made it clear that Kounde is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.
Jules Tanganga’s future at Tottenham is in doubt
According to reports, the future of Japhet Tanganga at Tottenham is in doubt. The defender, who has been in a revolving door at White Hart Lane, has recently been linked with a move to AC Milan. Tottenham have been attempting to improve their playing squad this summer but their latest move may well involve another new signing. According to reports, Tottenham sporting director Fabio Paratici has held talks with AC Milan over the transfer of Japhet Tanganga.
However, a recent tweet by transfer expert Gianluigi Longari suggests that AC Milan have expressed an interest in the former Everton defender. According to Longari, AC Milan have made an enquiry about Tanganga, who played 19 times last season and completed 90 minutes on 11 occasions. Interestingly, AC Milan and Napoli have also been linked with the defender.
Japhet Tanganga to Celtic
Despite the recent transfer rumours surrounding the Manchester United midfielder, Erik ten Hag has decided to give Anthony Martial a second chance in the Premier League. Martial’s loan spell at Sevilla, where he scored only once in 12 appearances, looked disappointing. And the Frenchman’s lack of first-team football has been a source of worry for the Red Devils. The Frenchman has been deemed surplus to requirements since he failed to impress during his time at Sevilla.
The transfer rumours have not stopped since the arrival of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. With Cristiano Ronaldo uncertain at the club, Erik ten Hag has now made the decision to stop Martial leaving. The midfielder has impressed the Manchester United brag Erik 10 Hag in the pre-season tour, so the club is not ready to let him leave. However, Martial’s future will remain uncertain until after September 1, when United will have to make a decision on whether to sell him or keep him.
Japhet Tanganga to Sporting
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is faced with a transfer decision on Anthony Martial amid the ongoing saga surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star is reportedly looking to leave Old Trafford this summer, despite the fact that he has been granted extra time off due to family matters. Ten Hag is currently unsure when Ronaldo will be able to join the squad for the pre-season game against Liverpool. However, he does understand that a move to another club could help Ronaldo’s cause.
While the future of Cristiano Ronaldo remains uncertain, Erik ten Hag is confident that Anthony Martial will stay at Manchester United. The Frenchman is firing at Old Trafford, and has been able to adjust to the new tactical approach of the new coach. In addition, Martial is much younger than Ronaldo, who is nearing the end of his trophy-laden career.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is expected to make a transfer decision on Anthony Martial this summer. Martial has been the first-choice centre-forward under Ten Hag and has yet to train with Ronaldo. The Red Devils have other senior options in central midfield with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, while Donny van de Beek has struggled for two seasons at Old Trafford, having been loaned out to Everton last season.
With Ronaldo set to leave Old Trafford this summer, it is hard to see why Manchester United would let the Frenchman leave the club. It would be a massive blow to United if Martial was sold this summer. But Martial has impressed ten Hag and is now likely to stay at Old Trafford. After all, he has performed well in pre-season friendlies and has a new lease of life.
Despite the summer transfer market’s uncertainty, Manchester United have already made a decision on Paul Pogba. The France international has expressed his desire to stay at Old Trafford. However, Ronaldo said he was “very happy” to stay at the club, and believes the team can bounce back under new manager Erik ten Hag. Meanwhile, the club are in talks with Alejandro Garnacho over a new deal.
Matheus Nunes to Sporting
With the arrival of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United have given their young striker a fresh start. Martial, who joined the club in 2015, has been tipped as the next Thierry Henry. However, the Frenchman has failed to make an impression at Old Trafford and has spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla. He failed to make an impact at Sevilla and was deemed surplus to requirements by Erik Ten Hag.
United are in the process of convincing Cristiano Ronaldo to stay and will seek an acceptable offer for the forward. While Ronaldo has his supporters, the club should consider accepting an acceptable offer and invest in a young dynamic attacker who can share the striker role with Anthony Martial. If the deal does not go through, Ten Hag faces a difficult decision. The club’s final match before the holidays is against Aston Villa, so the decision may still be far from final.
