Anthony Martial’s agent Philippe Lamboley has revealed that the French forward wants to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window after struggling to get game time this season.
The 26-year-old, who joined United from Monaco in 2015, has started only two Premier League games this season and has scored just once.

Lamboley, executive director of USFA Management, told Sky Sports News: “Anthony wishes to leave the club in January.
“He just needs to play. He doesn’t want to stay in January and I will speak to the club soon.”
Martial still has at least three years left on his contract at Old Trafford, having signed a new deal in 2019 that includes an option to extend for a further year.
He has fallen down the pecking order at United, who have an array of attacking talent to choose from, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood.
While he did not mention Martial by name, United interim manager Ralf Rangnick hinted there could be departures in January when he was asked about the bloated size of his squad on Friday.
“It’s still a big squad. We need to make sure that players want to stay here,” he said.
“If they see they are not getting enough game time here it might make sense to speak to players individually and see if a loan deal might make sense, but right now it’s too early.”

If only Arsenal can make a move for this lad. Auba’s time is practically coming to an end. Matial would be the right player to fill in void. He plays from the left, skillful and technically better. He just needs a run of games and he’ll suit in perfectly. He is not having game time at Manshit and it’s about time we take one of Manshit player
There’s no better time than the present. Please make a move for this talented player I admire him greatly. COYG!
