Anthony Martial may still have a future at Manchester United despite the £73million summer addition of Jadon Sancho. The Frenchman plays in a similar position to the England international leading many to assume that he would be pushed further down the pecking order and could be sold. But United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that Martial will still play a key role in the United squad for the upcoming season.

Despite not being included in United's pre-season squad for their 4-2 defeat to QPR on Saturday, Martial could still play a role in the upcoming season.
Solskjaer struggled to find the right attacking options in his squad during the defeat in west London.
Marcus Rashford and Sancho were both absent from the defeat as they enjoyed an extended holiday after their run to the Euro 2020 final with England.
The United boss instead opted to play Greenwood up front in a 4-3-3 system with both Dan James and Facundo Pellistri on the wings.
The move backfired for Solsjaker as his side were heavily beaten.

United are also looking to strengthen elsewhere in the current summer transfer window.
Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is being linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
The 28-year-old has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Red Devils leaving just the two clubs to agree a transfer fee.
United begin their Premier League campaign on 14 August against Leeds United.
