Sevilla explain why Man Utd were not getting Anthony Martial at his best

Sevilla sporting director Monchi believes Anthony Martial is happy in Spain after he left Manchester United last month.

Martial made it clear that he wanted to leave the Red devils in the January transfer window and the French star got his wish as he joined Sevilla on loan for the rest of the campaign.




The 26-year-old has played two games for Sevilla and Monchi believes the Spanish team have helped improve the player’s frame of mind.

‘In these two weeks he’s been here, what I see is happiness,’ Monchi told The Times.




‘When a player has the technical, tactical, physical qualities, what you have to do is touch the perfect spot for these qualities to reappear.

‘And we think we’re capable of finding this spot. Possibly it could mean more affection, more support, more trust; speaking more to him, for his family to feel settled, for him to feel important. There’s not one model for every player – everyone has their needs.’

Meanwhile, Sevilla head coach Julen Lopetegui has suggested that he will use Martial in multiple attacking positions during his loan spell at the club.

‘He is a player who, like [Jesus] Corona, must have a great adaptation and demand over time,’ Lopetegui said.




‘I think he has played a good game, he has helped us in different positions. I think he can play both in a 4-3-3 for outside, as the only striker or as a second striker. He has that ability.’
