During his six years with Manchester United, Anthony Martial has had his ups and downs.
The Frenchman has appeared to be truly world-class at times. At other moments, he appears bored and off the pace.
As a result, Martial has always caused controversy at Old Trafford. Some fans won't say anything negative about the 25-year-old, while others wouldn't mind seeing him depart the club as soon as possible.
The hope of the latter group of supporters may be about to come true.
Martial has been offered to Real Madrid, according to writer Duncan Castles, as his agent attempts to move him away from the Premier League club.
United are closing in on a deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, while Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been linked with a summer transfer to Old Trafford.
Martial's agent has offered the France international to Los Blancos, fearing that his client will be pushed down the pecking order at Manchester United.
According to the Express, the arrangement would entail an initial season-long loan with a buyout option.
These newest allegations remind me of the time Martial burned Real Madrid's defense in the International Champions Cup in the summer of 2017.
Martial masterfully slalomed past several Madrid defenders after getting the ball on the left flank before laying it on a plate for Jesse Lingard, who converted from close range.
What a fantastic assist!
Martial has always had this kind of skill, so it's disappointing for United fans that they've only seen him perform at this level on a few occasions.
The average return for a forward who cost the club £58 million in 2015 and is paid £250,000 a week is 78 goals in 258 appearances.
Martial, on the other hand, has helped his team win multiple titles in the last six years, including the FA Cup and the Europa League.
Many United fans will be saddened to learn that he may have played his final game for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
