Putting it all together
If we put all the aforementioned reasons together, a swap between Christian Pulisic and Anthony Martial sounds like the perfect solution for all parties involved.
Anthony Martial will be happy to end his perceived nightmare under Mourinho’s management.
Mourinho will be happy to get rid of a player he supposedly regards as mentally weak, and replace him with a hard-working player - while also filling his problem position on the right wing.
Dortmund will get one of the most stylish flair players in Europe and Christian Pulisic will join his boyhood club.
Ed Woodward will be replacing a young 22-year-old Frenchman with resale value with an even younger 19-year-old American with an even higher resale value.
Christian Pulisic in a swap deal for Anthony Martial - it is a transfer move made in heaven. All it needs is for the power-brokers at Dortmund and United to realize that such a deal is possible, and to get on the negotiating table.
