Manchester United want to replace Anthony Martial with Lois Openda

  On Saturday, Manchester United suffered their first defeat at Old Trafford this season, delivering what could be considered their worst performance of the campaign against Bournemouth. The 0-3 loss showed how inconsistent the team has been this season. The manager, Erik ten Hag, might be in trouble with scrutiny on his transfers and team choices. Even after a bad performance last week, he started Anthony Martial against the Cherries, but Martial didn't play well. Man united forward have been so poor United's attackers haven't been doing well, and it's a mystery why one player has stayed despite seven years of poor performance.
