Martial not pictured in United training
Chelsea fans have called for Antonio Conte to sign Anthony Martial after the Manchester United forward was not pictured in training.
The French star, who cost United a little over £55million just under 2 years ago, was mysteriously dropped on Saturday for United’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City.
When asked about Martial’s absence after the match, Jose Mourinho bluntly replied: ‘Martial was not selected.’
Reports in France have claimed that Martial’s representatives are annoyed by the treatment the 21-year-old has received from Mourinho since the Special One arrived in the summer, and are growing frustrated with the forward’s lack of playing time.
He has only started 9 games in a United shirt so far this season, and has failed to nail down a place in Mourinho’s attack.
But while he is struggling for minutes at Old Trafford, Chelsea fans have been crying out for Antonio Conte to sign him at Chelsea,
