Anthony Martial will be able to revive and thus hope to clear a path for the World Cup-2022 at the end of the year.

The French international striker, struggling at Manchester United, was loaned to Seville, second in the Spanish league, where he arrived on Tuesday.

The two clubs formalized this loan in the evening on Twitter "until the end of the season".

Expected by a swarm of journalists, Martial left the airport of the Andalusian city around 4 p.m.

The 26-year-old will be presented to his new club this Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium.

The arrival of Ronaldo that hurts

The departure of the Frenchman from Manchester United during the winter transfer window was no longer in doubt after the exchange of arms, ten days ago, between the striker and the coach of the "Red Devils" Ralf Rangnick.

The German technician accused the player of refusing to be in the group for the Premier League match at Aston Villa (2-2), which the person strongly denied on social networks.

If the two have since reconciled, this imbroglio illustrates the poor season of Martial, who has scored only one goal in just eleven games in all competitions.

In a disappointing team, which has already said goodbye to the title, the French suffered the return last summer of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who relegated him to the bench.

A place to take on the bench of the Blues

In selection his situation is not better.

He is helmed by Karim Benzema, author of a resounding comeback last May.

If Martial scored in Ukraine in September (1-1) in a match counting for the qualifications for the World Cup, it was the Madrilenian who shone by winning the League of Nations in October, under the eyes of the Mancunian, confined to the bench.

In November, during the last rally of 2021, his lack of playing time deprived him of a summons by Didier Deschamps, coach adept at the irremovable attacking trio composed of "KB9", Griezmann and Mbappé.

It is therefore for a substitute place that Martial applies to the Blues, against Kingsley Coman, Ousmane Dembélé, even Wissam Ben Yedder, Marcus Thuram, Moussa Diaby and Olivier Giroud.

But without more club playing time by the fall, the World Cup in Qatar (November 21-December 18) risks being played without him.

Not seeing the World Cup would be a bitter new pill to swallow for the one who had not been retained in the world champion group in 2018, when he started his international career in 2015 and played the Euro -2016 (30 selections in all, two goals).

In Seville, the next six months promise to be exciting for Martial, an attacking profile that the Andalusian club lacked, the best defense in La Liga but not efficient enough in front of goal.
