#2 The feud between Anthony Martial and Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho exhorted Martial in the previous season to listen to his coach rather than his agent. He tried encouragement, cajolement and criticism at various points of the season with the precocious Frenchman.
But nothing seemed to work.
Martial made a bright start to the 2017-18 season and looked very happy to be at United. He thrived while competing with Marcus Rashford for a position on the left side of United’s attack.
Then came January, and United signed Alexis Sanchez. Martial sulked his way through the end of the season and lost his place in the French national team as well. He then had another run-in with Mourinho during United’s summer tour, which brought their relationship to a breaking point.
Conclusion: Anthony Martial desperately wants to leave Manchester United and Jose Mourinho whole-heartedly agrees.
