Man Utd chairman sees Martial as the 'Pele' of the club… with big decision made

  /  autty

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.
