Still find it amazing you asked. People will still peddle the myth he doesnt play or mourinho doesnt rate him when it couldn't be further from the truth.
He doesn't play consistent full 90s though, and he'll be playing even less with Alexis there. That's all.

Ask them to take Iwobi and Welbeck with Alexis and they can have him for free.

PSG, Chelsea, Sp**s and Juventus linked to him. Could be some potential swap deals in there for United with Thiago Silva (?), Willian, Alderweireld...

Funny how the story has changed since then. This is now claiming Martial was disappointed not to be able to discuss coming here.

Anthony Martial is interested in a move to Juventus after the Italian club made the unsettled Manchester United forward their top transfer target.

Juventus, the Serie A leaders, and Bayern Munich, the German champions, are set to go head to head in the race for Martial’s signature this summer.

Martial is likely to be given a rare run-out in United’s Premier League match away to Bournemouth tonight but his long-term future at the club appears bleak. He has started four of the 13 games United have played since they signed Alexis Sánchez, which effectively made the Frenchman José Mourinho’s third choice on the left side of United’s attack, behind the Chilean and Marcus Rashford.

Martial is refusing to sign a new deal until he gets assurances from Mourinho that he will play more often, but the manager says that the player must earn the right to start games.

It is understood that Martial was disappointed at not having the chance to discuss a move to Arsenal in January, when the London club raised the possibility of including the forward in the swap deal that led to Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaving Old Trafford instead.

Martial is intrigued by the possibility of moving to Juventus, who are also interested in signing Matteo Darmian, the United full back. Darmian is open to a move. “Juventus are a great club and having these kinds of clubs interested in you can only please you,” the defender, who is surplus to requirements, said.

Bayern would also be an attractive proposition for Martial, but their interest in him is thought not to be as strong as that of Juventus. Martial’s cousin Jéma expressed his annoyance at Mourinho on Twitter, pointing out that the Portuguese sold Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah while at Chelsea.

He tweeted: “It’s impossible to progress under this coach’s orders. Too many examples prove it. If you see the last two years and the past with Salah, De Bruyne or Lukaku at Chelsea, I don’t invent. I think that for young players who can improve he’s not the good one. Just a view.”

Paul Pogba flew with the squad to Bournemouth last night, but may not start. United do not want to sell him this summer even though the relationship between the £89 million midfielder and Mourinho has become strained.

It is understood that Real Madrid are not keen on making a bid for the 25-year-old. Paris Saint-Germain, given the recent scrutiny of their finances, are unlikely to make a bid for the midfielder. United will not return to Manchester after tonight’s game. Instead they will train at Fulham’s Motspur Park training ground on Thursday and Friday before the FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham on Saturday evening.
