There was a time when Anthony Martial was the hottest commodity in French football, he's now become one of the players at the forefront of Jose Mourinho's unravelling third season implosion at Old Trafford.

Anthony Martial, once the heartbeat of United's attacking lines and considered a long-term project for the Red Devils, has seen his future hanging in the balance under the Special One.

The arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016, Alexis Sanchez in 2018, and the continued preference of Marcus Rashford is solid proof of Mourinho's lack of faith in Martial's abilities to lead United's attack, even though Club director Ed Woodward has been vocal about his intentions to keep the player, against the manager's will.

The French striker is an exceptionally skilled centre-forward and has yet to even reach the peak of his powers, but with his, and Jose Mourinho's future looking very uncertain, it's safe to say the last paragraph of Anthony Martial's Man United diaries has not been written yet.
