United attacking player misses out

Anthony Martial has not been included in France's World Cup squad. The Manchester United player has not been playing consistently for his club under Mourinho. The Frenchman has been overlooked by Didier Deschamps and will be devastated on missing out on a spot.

His poor form in the second half of the season could have been a major factor in the player not making the squad. Martial has scored just 9 goals in the league this season along with 6 assists to his name. In what would have been a hard choice for the manager with the wealth of talent at his disposal, Deschamps has made some bold choices. Martial has not been influential enough for his club and hasn't shown Deschamps enough quality to be chosen.

This decision could affect Martial's stay at United although the player will need to improve his displays and cement a spot in the team next season.
