Anthony Martial banished from Man Utd first team squad with Erik ten Hag desperate to flog outcast Frenchman
ERIK TEN HAG has reportedly been banished from Manchester United’s first-team and told to improve his fitness.
The French striker picked up a sickness bug last month and last played in the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on December 9.
Now the Daily Mail states that he has not trained with his team-mates since then with Ten Hag believed to be desperate to sell him before the January transfer window closes.
This update states that United’s Dutch boss has told him that he will not consider picking him again until his fitness improves.
Ten Hag has been quizzed over Martial’s absence numerous times over recent weeks, but he has remained tight-lipped on the 28-year-old.
He would only say that the ex-Monaco ace was not fit ahead of Sunday’s draw with Tottenham – but now it has been claimed that he is not suffering from injury.
Instead, Martial is “yet to regain sufficient fitness” following last month’s sickness.
