Manchester United outcast wants long-term stay

 

Anthony Martial has revealed he has no interest in leaving Manchester United and wants to stay at the club for years to come.

 

The France international has struggled for game time this season after falling down the pecking order under United manager Jose Mourinho and his agent had talked up a move to Sevilla in the January transfer window.

 

However, Martial has dismissed any suggestions he could leave the club after being a real fan favourite since joining from Monaco as an unknown quantity at the start of last season.

 

“For me, what’s really special here is the supporters. They’ve been really outstanding with me,” Martial told Inside United.

 

“I think that what goes a long way to making me feel at home and at ease, and makes me really keen to stay here at the club.

 

“In France, even if you’re one of the best players around, they might begin to boo and jeer you if you go a couple of games without scoring.

 

“But here it’s just the opposite, they’ll try to cheer you on so you might be able to score, and so then you grow in confidence. I think it’s just a different mentality. That’s why I like the fans here so much.”
