Manchester United set to reject loan request from Sevilla for France international Anthony Martial

Manchester United are ready to rebuff a loan request from Sevilla for striker Anthony Martial.

The Spanish club's director of football Monchi has contacted Martial's agent to see how feasible such a move would be.

The France international is keen to play more regular football and has grown frustrated under Jose Mourinho but the United manager believes Martial could apply himself better, a sentiment echoed by France national coach Didier Deschamps.
