Ralf Rangnick told Anthony Martial that he could only leave "Manchester United" next month if the agreement is suitable for the club. Rangnick has been negotiating with the French forward, who wants to leave "United" after spending half a year on the sidelines due to a lack of playing time. Although Rangnick said he empathizes with Martial's difficult situation, he told the 25-year-old player that any deal must ultimately benefit "United". "We've talked for a long time," said Rangnick. "He explained to me that he has been playing for 'Manchester United' for the last seven years and he believes it is the right time for changes, to move somewhere else." "I think in a way it's understandable, but on the other hand, it's important to consider the club's situation." "We are competing in three tournaments where we still have high ambitions and want to be as successful as possible." "I told him that until there is an offer from another club showing interest in him, he will stay, and it should be in the interests of both the player and the club." "As far as I know, he has not received any other club offers, so as long as that's the case, he will stay." The Frenchman has appeared in ten matches this season and scored one goal.
