#3 Why Martial signed a new deal
Anthony Martial stalled contract talks when Jose Mourinho was the manager of Manchester United. However, after the Portuguese got sacked and replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Martial ended up signing a new deal with the Red Devils.
And now, according to manager Solksjaer, Martial was convinced to sign an extension with the help of an example of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Norwegian thinks that Martial is a superb talent and could follow in the footsteps of some of the best players to ply their trade at the Old Trafford.
“As I have said many times, I’m here to help players, to guide players until the summer and I think when you sit him down and talk to him, for example, about Cristiano’s career, what he’s made of his career and how he’s got there and we talk about all the fantastic players with the history they’ve got, I think Anthony just said, ‘If I can be a part of this I’d like to’.
“I believe and the club believes we have got a top player there.”
