Former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has been linked with a move to Brazilian club Flamengo this week.
According to journalist Luca Bendoni, Anthony Martial is expected to join Brazilian outfit Flamengo after leaving Manchester United earlier this summer.
Martial was expected to develop into a world-class player when he joined Manchester United from AS Monaco. However, he never quite managed to fulfil his tremendous potential, and his time at the English club was rather underwhelming.
The 28-year-old had the physicality and technical attributes to develop into one of the best players in the league. However, Manchester United never really got the best out of him.
Martial needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and a move to Brazil will be an interesting opportunity. It remains to be seen whether he can get his career back on track with regular football at Flamengo.
The South American side needed attacking reinforcements, and signing Martial on a free transfer would represent an excellent bargain. If he manages to get back to his best, he could be an asset for them. The Frenchman has proven himself in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions league. There is no doubt that he could be a star in South American football.
Martial will look to get back to his best
The French attacker will be desperate to prove himself at the highest level, and he will look to win trophies with Flamengo. It remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running and make an instant impact at the Brazilian club.
Martial is at the peak of his powers right now, and he will look to make the most of the opportunity in Brazil. It will be interesting to see if he can regain his form and sharpness with regular football over the next few months. This is a fresh start for the 28-year-old, and he should look to make it a success story.
Flamengo will certainly hope that he can hit the ground running and transform them in the final third. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and the Frenchman will add goals, flair and pace to the side.
