Bookmakers back Anthony Martial to leave Manchester United
And bookmakers Ladbrokes have responded by slashing Martial's odds to leave the club in the January window to just 7/4.
Should the 20-year-old remain at Old Trafford until the end of the season, it's 5/4 that Mourinho offloads him in the summer.
A Ladbrokes spokesman said: “There's been a simmering tension been Jose and Martial all season, but after being dropped at Stoke, the Frenchman is nearer the exit than ever before.”

Martial signed for United in the summer of 2015 and enjoyed a stunning debut campaign - scoring 20 goals and providing 16 assists - but has struggled to hold onto a first-team spot this term.
His Old Trafford team-mate Ashley Young has also been linked with a move away this month, with West Brom (5/4), Watford (8/1), Everton (10/1), Stoke (14/1) and Aston Villa (16/1) all in the running to take him on loan.
