Manchester United forward Anthony Martial turned down the opportunity to rejoin Lyon on transfer deadline day, according to reports.
Huge question marks now hang over the head of the Frenchman, who is under increasing pressure to retain a starting spot at Old Trafford.
Martial has started the campaign slowly and is yet to find the back of the net, with United's frontline soon to be shaken up by the eagerly anticipated return of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sensing his potential availability, Lyon made a late play for the 25-year-old in hope of securing a loan deal for this season, as report L'Equipe.
