Martial departed Man United on Wednesday, January 26, completing a loan switch to Sevilla for the rest of the 2021/22 season.

His exit came having played a minor role in United's campaign this term due to injures and poor form which limited him to just 11 appearances.

However, he now has a chance to rekindle his spark with Sevilla who are in the race for their first La Liga title since 1946.
