When Anthony Martial was fined by Jose Mourinho for failing to return to the United States for the final week of their five-match tour after he went home to France for the birth of his second child, it seemed his time at the club was truly over.
The Times reported in August that Martial was desperate to leave the Old Trafford club. The Frenchman started only 18 league matches and missed out on a place in France’s victorious World Cup squad as a result.
The 22-year-old joined Manchester United in 2015 for a deal worth around £57.
