8 Months of Silence, Martial's Mexican Journey, and Fascinating Football Stories ⚽️
I was also really intrigued by these news items! 😔 In October 2025, news emerged about the difficulties faced by former Manchester United player Anthony Martial in Mexico. It's hard to believe it's been 8 months without a goal. 😢

Hello! Today, I've brought a few pieces of news that soccer fans will find compelling. The stories related to Manchester United are particularly exciting.
8 Months of Silence: Anthony Martial's Adaptation in Mexico
The first news that caught my eye is about former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial. According to a report by education journalist Gethin Hicks on October 11, 2025, Martial is finding his new start in Mexico challenging. After signing with ASons from Old Trafford in the summer of 2024, one of the biggest deals in Manchester United history, reports suggest he's not delivering an 'acceptable' performance in Monterrey. 😥
The fact that he hasn't scored in 8 months is truly shocking. With descriptions like an 'unacceptable' goal drought, one can only imagine how much he must be struggling mentally. 😔 I'm rooting for the 29-year-old French player Martial to score soon and make his mark in the Mexican league! What do you think about a player not scoring for 8 months?
Joey Barton vs. Wayne Rooney: The Prelude to a Feud?
It's also interesting to hear about the unfolding verbal spat between Joey Barton, known for his outspoken nature in football, and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. Barton dismissed claims related to Rooney's 2012 title win with Manchester City as 'nonsense.' This dispute, which unfolded on X (formerly Twitter), was reportedly so heated it was dubbed 'X-rated,' making one wonder about its potential impact. 💥
It seems there are so many intertwined stories in football, even from their playing days. Perhaps these episodes that pique fans' interest are what make football more enjoyable. What are your thoughts on this news?
