Anthony Martial is not good enough for Man United says pundit
Martial was at loggerheads with Mourinho over the summer after he left Manchester United’s pre-season tour of the United States early so he could attend the birth of his son.
The French winger is out of favour and he has been played just once this term and that came in the 3-2 defeat away to Brighton where he was hauled off after an hour.
Martial’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, admitted earlier this summer that his client wants to leave the Red Devils.
He said: “After thinking about all the factors and possibilities, Anthony wants to leave Manchester United.
That's why this decision has come - it's a well-thought-out decision

“There are lots of factors, and right now it's too early to talk about them.
"I think that when United, the most powerful club in the world, do not find an agreement after eight months of negotiations then they do not really want to keep such an important player in their squad.
“That's why this decision has come - it's a well-thought-out decision.
"Everyone will have their opinion but I think he needs to resume his career. The time has come."

And according to The Sun, Martial has put talks over his United future on hold until he knows what is happening with Pogba.
United can trigger an extension in Martial’s deal, but Mourinho has come under increasing pressure after his side’s dismal start to the campaign.
However, United did beat Burnley 2-0 last weekend to give them a confidence boost before the international break.
