The Frenchman struggled for game time at Old Trafford before his move on loan to Sevilla in January. Just before his move to La Liga, the 26-year-old had a public falling out with Ralf Rangnick after the German accused Martial of refusing to travel with the squad to Aston Villa.
Martial rejected this claim on Instagram and was back in the United squad the following week. Since arriving in Spain, Martial has suffered from a muscle injury which caused him to miss a couple of matches.

"It doesn't reflect how I feel because on the pitch I try to do my best. I'm not smiling but I'm just focused."
"People can think what they want, it's okay for me." He added: "'For me, it was the best option to play and enjoy football again.
"I lost it a little bit in Manchester because I was not playing. I feel very good in Sevilla.
"The city is very good and we are a good team so, for me, it's perfect. I'm playing so I'm happy.
