Anthony Martial appears to be enjoying the nice weather in Spain following his departure from Manchester United.
The forward got his wish of a loan exit from Old Trafford granted in the January transfer window as he joined Sevilla on loan for the rest of the season after growing frustrated at his lack of opportunities this season.
Although he hasn't had the most electric of starts to life in La Liga, Martial certainly seems to like the change of scenery.
The 26-year-old posted a photograph on his Instagram page on Tuesday depicting him doing some stretches in training with a massive smile on his face.
Martial's new teammate Lucas O'Campos then took the chance to aim a dig at Manchester's wet and windy weather in the comments, as he replied: "and like the sun friend eh," accompanied with several laughing and a sun emoji.
Martial started just four times in the Premier League for United in the current campaign, leading to his desire to leave, but was thrown straight in at the deep end in Spain as he started in his first available game against Osasuna.
However, it would transpire to be a frustrating debut for the Frenchman who was unable to get going and was substituted with 13 minutes remaining in the 0-0 draw.
After the match, manager Julen Lopetegui made it clear that he needs to offer more in games.
"Anthony has to give us much more," Lopetegui said, as quoted by Sevilla's club website. "It was his first game and adaptation is not easy, he has played little this year and he has to get into dynamics and gain minutes and confidence."
