The 28-year-old joined the Premier League club in a £36 million move ($45.9m) from Monaco in September 2015 but failed to live up to expectations. He has not played a senior game since December after undergoing groin surgery.

“Since I arrived in 2015, I have had the immense honour of wearing this shirt and playing in front of you, the best supporters in the world! You have been an unwavering support, through the good times and the difficult. Your passion and loyalty have been a constant source of motivation for me,” Martial continued.

“I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me. Your songs, your encouragement and your love for the club are memories that will remain engraved in my heart forever. I would also like to express my gratitude to all my team-mates, technical staff and all the members of the club I have met during my 9 years here. I am proud to have been able to share these experiences with you,” he added.

During his time in England, Martial won the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Europa League but neither the Premier League nor the Champions League. He played 317 matches and scored 90 goals in all competitions.

“Manchester United will always be in my heart. This club has left its mark on my career and offered me an incredible opportunity to play in front of you,” continued Martial, who had a loan spell in 2022 at Sevilla.

“I’m leaving to take on new challenges, I’ll always be a Red Devil and I’ll continue to follow the club’s results with passion.”

Martial’s contract expires this summer.
