Martial view
The Frenchman had explained to Manchester United executives in no uncertain terms that he desires to make a move. Initially, a loan move was looking far from possible after Barcelona and Juventus got into the race.
However, one of the aforementioned team’s were able to agree on Martial's wage demands. Hence the Frenchman decided to make a loan move abroad.
The project at Sevilla
The project as Sevilla looks quite interesting. They currently sit second in the table. Just four points behind league leaders Real Madrid with 16 games to go.
Considering that, Martial believes the Spanish side would offer him a more conducive and competitive environment. Hence his decision to make a loan move.
Summary
Martial's abilities have never been in question. However, he seemed to have found the Manchester United environment uncomfortable.
We can only hope, he finds his feet at the Spanish side.
