Manchester United supporters have set a challenge for Anthony Martial after his loan move to La Liga club Sevilla was confirmed.
The 26-year-old told Ralf Rangnick he wanted to leave Old Trafford earlier this month and having had one attempt to sign him knocked back, the Spaniards have rubber-stamped a move for the Frenchman after agreeing to pay his entire £240,000-a-week wage until the end of this season.
United will not receive a loan fee and there is no obligation for Sevilla to buy the player.
In turn, that represents the France international with an opportunity to put himself in the shop window - or return to the Premier League giants having underlined his long-term worth.
Martial has made only 11 appearances for United this season - scoring one goal - and joins a Sevilla team who have genuine hope of winning the league title. They are currently four points behind table-toppers Real Madrid.
His overall record at Old Trafford reads 79 goals and 50 assists from 269 games.
Here are a selection of comments made by United fans about Martial's loan switch;
@RealistGlizzy said: "Good luck Tony. Go and smash it."
@MLAnthonyy posted: "He should have been starting for us."
@089968Raph_ added: "I hope Anthony Martial has a great time at Sevilla and comes back to Old Trafford next season with a new manager and kills it."
