'Treachery' - Anthony Martial blasts former Manchester United managers Mourinho and Solskjaer

Anthony Martial has slammed both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for how they treated him during their tenures in charge of Manchester United.

After initially bursting onto the Premier League scene following his arrival at United in 2015 under Louis van Gaal, Martial has struggled to consistently live up to his potential in the years since under a series of different managers.

Martial has now hit back at his former boss, who he believes showed him a lack of respect after taking his No.9 shirt off him to hand it to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and blames him for missing out on a place in France's World Cup winning squad.
