This season, the striker has given Manchester United supporters a number of breathtaking displays, but this time, it was Anthony Martial’s wife who received the lavish treatment.
The 20-year-old France attacker gave his partner Samantha a birthday shopping spree in the city center when he missed United’s previous two games due to a hamstring injury.
Martial took his other half to Nando’s for lunch to celebrate her 23rd birthday before they went to Selfridges at The Trafford Centre, where he purchased three expensive handbags.
As the striker is ready to return from injury, the couple looked happy as they walked around the Manchester retail center.
Before last week’s Europa League match against Midtjylland, Martial suffered hamstring discomfort and was replaced by Marcus Rashford, who went on to score a fantastic brace.
The Frenchman missed the team’s 3-2 win over archrival Arsenal on Sunday as well, but he might play against Watford on Wednesday in the Barclays Premier League.
The striker, Chris Smalling, and Matteo Darmian might all play against the Hornets at Old Trafford, according to manager Louis van Gaal.
The Dutchman stated in his pre-game press conference that “(Marouane) Fellaini and (Antonio) Valencia are the first ones to come back, I believe, aside from Martial, Smalling, and Darmian of course.”
They’re returning, and depending on how they feel on Wednesday, they might be prepared.Although there is a chance that one of these three players may already play, Fellaini will arrive in the final round of team training.
Valencia also practiced with the group today for the first time, so they are returning. Rooney (Wayne) is still wearing a brace.
However, with the rise of teenage striker Rashford, Martial might find it challenging to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.
with their 5-1 victory over Midtjylland, Rashford scored two key goals, and he extended his remarkable start to life with the United first team with another brace in their 3-2 victory over title-hunting Arsenal on Sunday.
But the striker will be keen to show United supporters his skills on the field as soon as possible after indulging his wife with a shopping extravaganza.
