The great oppression of Jose Mourinho strikes again. This time the save of a player coming before having to buy them back. We’ve seen it happen with most of Chelsea.
The list of players taking leave from Mourinho’s stewardship is a list as long as a list of casualties of the World War almost. This must have been motivation for United’s board to part ways with Mourinho rather than keep him over the players.
The Old Trafford club was not about to watch their players excel to world-class status, while not in United’s camp. Once Jose Mourinho left the club and Ole Gunner stepped in to fill the void until the end of the season, things have turned around in so many ways.
This gives the impression signings has a low possibility of happening during the January window. If he is not there to take over for the long haul, why sign players under Ole and then let him move on? That makes the most no sense in the world of no sense.
Supporting this transfer statements made was the caretaker’s words in his Brighton pre-match press conference. All this in return has made resigning their world-class fielders and their biggest potentials on new deals.
Does the news about Anthony Martial's new contract indicate the 'feel good factor' is back at @ManUtd? 😁

This case has been ongoing and was quite the sore situation for the most part of the Premier League term. One player who has not wanted a United stay was the Frenchman, Anthony Martial. He made sure the world knew. Martial dismissed two new offers at the club during the time of Jose Mourinho and was quite vocal about leaving for a new journey.
Times have changed and so have the attitudes of some
The saying goes, when it rains it pours. Well, when the sun shines, players on the fringe sign new deals. On the eve of United’s next game, which takes place at Old Trafford against Brighton, Sky Sports have reported Martial has made a 180 turn on his feels about staying in Manchester.
It is apparent Anthony is willing to sit down and talk business as United becomes more and more exciting to watch as the weeks wear on. Does he deserve it? YES! There should be no questioning it. The style of play compliments the flashy forward, so leaving word be a rather backwards decision.
Anthony Martial is close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United over a new five-year contract, @SkySportsNews understands.

At 23-years-old, Anthony Martial is one of the Red Devils most important youngsters. He was ill-treated by the ex-manager, so his hesitation back then was more than acceptable. Now he can influence and be the first to show he bleeds United’s black and red.
Manchester United’s good news keeps on rolling in. They embrace Brighton during the busiest time slot of the day. Let’s see if they add value to their names for win number seven.
