Anthony Martial's Manchester United future is secure – because the forward is viewed as the club's "Pele" by co-chairman Joel Glazer.
Martial's focus and commitment have been called into question by current United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his predecessor Jose Mourinho.
Both expressed concerns about the France striker's attitude in training and matches, which led to suggestions the 23-year-old could be sold.
But Martial's position is said to be safe, because executive co-chairman Glazer is such a fan and regards him as his favourite player at the club, according to sources.
Martial signed a new contract until 2023 in January, worth £200,000-a-week, although has since scored just twice in 13 appearances for United.

I think keeping young talented players is the right move by our club... Rather than keeping players who are over 30.

To bad Glazer doesn’t know enough about Football players to evaluate a great player, In my opinion he is the laziest player I’ve seen on the United squad. I hope he gets rid of the Tampa Bay Bucks mentality mediocre and let the coaches he hired do their job to make the club better
