The 22-year-old has been tipped to make a sensational move away from United since the last January transfer window, after failing to break into Mourinho’s plans at Old Trafford. Although Martial was one of the standout performers for Manchester United under Louis Van Gaal, his lacklustre displays under the current boss have seen him fall down the pecking order with the Red Devils.

Mourinho is believed to be keen on landing a left-winger, with the likes of Gareth Bale and Ivan Perisic, the latter is said to be open to a United move but Inter Milan has dragged their feet on the move, slapping £48 million transfer asking price on the Croatian.

The Italian giants are understood to have contacted Martial in a potential swap deal that will see Perisic make his move to Old Trafford.

However, Jose Mourinho has insisted that the forward is not for sale, claiming he still has faith in the player despite admitting that he was after a new left winger while he added that Martial will improve this season.Anthony Martial sent decisive transfer message to his critics in Manchester United’s last game, netting a goal despite coming off the bench in the 4-0 win Old Trafford.
