Should Anthony Martial Leave Manchester United?

It's absurd trying to figure out what could have befallen the once creative and pacy Anthony Martial! It's hard telling whether Martial case is that of dip in form, or that of poor coach/player relations. All in all, Martial is in dire need of a miracle to turn around his football career.

The lack or limited substantial play time has seen him grow out of form, and even costed him a spot in the prestigious France's National team. The most painful effect was being left out of France's world cup winning squad in Russia. And as things stand, he seems not hold any promising future role in France's squad - if things doesn't turn around.

Martial needs more play time. He needs the trust of his coach and support of his colleagues. He needs to continuously be there on the pitch to work on his confidence and regain his scoring boots.

And if the price to pay should be walking away from Manchester United, then he should boldly do so.

Should Alexis Sanchez Leave Manchester United?

What has happened to the once fierce, quick, sharp and aggressive Alexis Sanchez? And wasn't he once Arsenal's most valuable player? 

Being Manchester United's top earning player, why has Sanchez suddenly grown goal shy? What could be hampering his known play making and goal scoring ability at United? Who has stolen his goal scoring boots? Could it be a new pattern of play, new coach, new environment, or just sheer bad luck?

While at Arsenal, Sanchez brought endless terror to the opposing teams' defense. Weirdly, the Sanchez playing at Manchester United is now just but a faint shadow of the real Alexis Sanchez.

To cushion his growing dip in form, Sanchez should up his game, or consider moving elsewhere from Old Trafford where he can grow in confidence and find his scoring boots.

Do you think Sanchez should move out of Manchester United?

Should Marcus Rashford Leave Manchester United?

Could it be time for Marcus Rashford to leave Manchester United? 

Rashford has truly worked his way to be regarded as one of United's lethal strikers. But given the sometimes in adequate play time; he is mostly brought in as substitute - after Romelo Lukaku and the likes, he has consequently started to grow pale in confidence, and this might have an overall negative impact on his future performnace.

Given his great performance for both club and country, Marcus Rashford deserves more play time to grow more in confidence and sharpen his striking ability. But given that he isn't guaranteed a starting position at Manchester United, he should perhaps up his game, or consider elsewhere...
