Anthony Martial’s 25-year-old brother Johan – who plays for Troyes in France – took to Instagram today in a bid to defend his brother of any wrongdoing.
Anthony Martial was revealed to be cheating on the mother of his child last season and Samantha has not stayed quiet on social media since their break-up.
The Manchester United forward has been accused of not supporting his daughter and leaving his ex without the basics to look after their child.
She recently liked Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s post in which he proclaimed the Manchester United number 9 shirt his own.
Johan’s post, translated from French, can be read below.
“Samantha, I accept that you’re having a hard time coping with the situation with my brother but I can’t hear your lies anymore because you’re hurting Anthony and our name.
“1. You were not married to Anthony
“2. You didn’t meet Anthony when he had nothing but when he was a Monaco player so was already making a very, very good living.
“3. Anthony pays you €3500/ month for you to provide for Peyton (their child) since the day of separation – So much more than a judge would give you. So claiming you do not have the money to buy a high chair is an incredible lie.
“4. Anthony loves his daughter and wants to see her every day. He has apparently become a very bad father since he is no longer with you but he was the best three months ago.
“5. Constantly making drama on social networks is shameful. When you were with Anthony you almost never posted?
“Anthony prefers not to talk in public but I can not let your little game last.
“Watching you play the victim is unbearable and it’s obviously just to make money. Millions of couples break up and do not pay € 3,500 a spouse, especially after never being married. I am obliged to restore the truth and I hope that you’ll pull yourself together for the good of Peyton.
“I can understand that you suffer from the situation and after this message you are free to make a sketch and victimise yourself but it is important to restore some truths.
“Anthony will always be for his daughter and my family.
“Johan”
