Ashley Young: France 'Missing Out' on Anthony Martial After Squad Omission

Manchester United defender Ashley Young believes France are "missing out" on Anthony Martial after he was left out of the squad for the upcoming international fixtures.

The world champions will face Moldova and Albania in their final two UEFA 2020 European Championship qualifying matches, although they will not have the Red Devils forward to call on as he was omitted from Didier Deschamps' squad.

It means Martial's absence on the international stage will continue, as the forward has not played for Les Bleus since March 2018. Young has said he's unsure as to why his team-mate isn't getting opportunities for his country, per Robin Bairner of Goal:

"For me I think France are missing out—I can't understand why he's not in their squad.
