Anthony Martial left out of France squad for crucial World Cup qualifiers despite stunning recent form for Manchester United

Anthony Martial's stunning run of form for Manchester United has not been enough for him to secure a spot in the France squad for their two vital World Cup qualifiers.

After starting the season facing a serious battle for minutes for a Manchester United side packed with talent, the former Monaco forward has scored five goals for the Red Devils including their second in the 4-1 Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow on Wednesday night.

But that was not enough to Didier Deschamps to recall him to the national team, with Martial winning the last of his 15 international caps against Holland last October.
