Anthony Martial has been told to train on his own to improve his fitness before Erik Ten Hag will consider picking him for Manchester United.
Mail Sport has learned that Martial has not trained with his team-mates since picking up a sickness bug last month, which has prevented the Frenchman from playing since United’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on 9 December.
Ten Hag has given little away when asked about Martial in recent weeks, saying only that he was not fit ahead of last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
