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,
