Anthony Martial's career has hit a new low after being sidelined from the Monterrey first team training. The decision by the Mexican club comes in response to the player's furious reaction after being substituted last weekend. The incident occurred last Sunday during Monterrey's 2-3 defeat against Chivas Guadalajara. Martial, 30, was substituted in the 74th minute for young Joaquin Moxica and expressed his displeasure vehemently on the bench. According to the Mexican publication TUDN, the forward's reaction did not sit well with coach Nicolás Sánchez, who ordered Martial to train separately from the main squad for the rest of the week. This episode exacerbates an already challenging period for the Frenchman in Mexico. Despite arriving with a strong reputation in September 2025 on a two-year contract, his performance has been modest, with only one goal in his last 21 games for Monterrey. Martial was once the world's most expensive teenager when Manchester United, under Louis van Gaal, paid €41.4 million to Monaco for his signing in the summer of 2015, with bonus clauses for a potential Ballon d'Or win. His debut was memorable, scoring a solo goal against Liverpool at Old Trafford. However, his nearly decade-long stint in Manchester was marked by inconsistency. In 317 appearances, he scored 90 goals, with his best season recording 23 goals. In his last season, he managed only two goals. After his contract with the Premier League club ended in the summer of 2024, Martial moved to Greece to play for AEK Athens. His time in the Greek capital was also uneventful, with 9 goals in 24 matches. A Golden Boy winner in 2015, a distinction also awarded to names like Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Lamine Yamal, Martial has never managed to live up to the immense potential that was predicted for him.
