Eric Bailly told Anthony Martial’s Sevilla team-mates the striker “needed affection” after making the move from Manchester United.
The Frenchman joined the Spanish side on loan for the remainder of the season during the January transfer window, having made his desire to leave Old Trafford well known.
Martial has played twice since making the move to La Liga, having found his chances back at United severely limited, and although he hasn’t scored, he did grab an assist on his second appearance as he helped Sevilla to a 2-0 win over Elche last week.
Martial’s frustration at United was made clear ahead of the January window, with the striker telling Ralf Rangnick that he wanted to leave the club.
Before he made the move to Spain, Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan spoke to his former Espanyol team-mate Bailly about the striker, with the United defender revealing what Martial needed from his move.
