Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes react to emotional Manchester United exit

Bruno Fernandes and a number of other Manchester United players have sent messages of good will to Anthony Martial after he confirmed he would leave the club this summer.

The French attacker's contract expires next month, and he departs Old Trafford having suffered from persistent injury problems over the last three years. He has not played since December 9 due to illness and rehabilitation from groin surgery earlier this year. He has not been offered a contract renewal by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Martial leaves United having scored 90 goals and recorded 47 assists in 317 appearances, only 71 of which have come in the past three of his nine seasons. He exits Old Trafford having lifted the Europa League, two League Cups, a Community Shield and two FA Cups, albeit failing to feature in United's last three finals.
